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. ****************************************************************** Pamela K. Peters University of Nebraska - Lincoln pkpeters@unlnotes.unl.edu
