Hi, I recently checked the validity, of a result page from your validation test, and found it invalid.. ie. I validated one of my own pages, saved it as a file, then I decided to check if the results page returned was infact valid itself, and, to my great surprise, it wasn't. Firstly, there was no character encoding specified, and secondly, the following error was returned after specififying iso-8859-1 using the extended interface: This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/> Strict! Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. Line 142 <http://validator.w3.org/check#line-142>, column 9: end tag for element "div" which is not open (explain... <http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html#floating-close>). </div><!-- End of "main" DIV. --> The source code from that section is: 135: <p> 136: If you would like to create a link to <em>this</em> page (i.e., this 137: validation result) to make it easier to re-validate this page in the 138: future or to allow others to validate your page, the URI is 139: <<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fathene.riv.csu.edu.au%2F~lhunt07%2F">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fathene.riv.csu.edu.au%2F~lhunt07%2F</a>> (or you can just add the 140: current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).</p> 141: </div> <!-- End of "meat". --> 142: </div><!-- End of "main" DIV. --> 143: <address> I believe, although I only looked briefly, that the line simply needs deleting from the source code. Other than that, it's a great service, and I use it all the time. Thanks ...Lachy!
