When using the W3C MarkUp Validation Service I receive errors on my files
because of the URIs from database pages. Since using a database is quite
prevalent, could the validator be written to ignore the href="....."
string? The file, except for URIs is compliant, so the "This page is not
Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!" is not correct.
Example from my file:
49: <a
href="http://telecom.unl.edu/equipment/equipment_director.asp?cind=1&grp=Telephone"
class="leftnav">Telephone
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
Line 49, column 74: cannot generate system identifier for general entity
"grp"
...ipment/equipment_director.asp?cind=1&grp=Telephone"
class="leftnav">Telephone
^
Line 49, column 74: general entity "grp" not defined and no default entity
(explain...).
...ipment/equipment_director.asp?cind=1&grp=Telephone"
class="leftnav">Telephone
^
Line 49, column 77: reference to entity "grp" for which no system
identifier could be generated
...ipment/equipment_director.asp?cind=1&grp=Telephone"
class="leftnav">Telephone
^
Line 49, column 73: entity was defined here
...uipment/equipment_director.asp?cind=1&grp=Telephone"
class="leftnav">Teleph..
Thank you for considering this.
