Well, is the page not accessible via the web? Are you going to be sending it to people as a file rather than sending them to a URL? If it can't be reached by people with a web browser, how will the validator reach it? To test your page, you can upload it to the validator for the test, but obviously you can't have a link to the validator that tells the validator to check the document if the validator can't reach it, and it can't reach it if it's not on the web... Did that make sense? I'd suggest including the valid icons, but do not link to the validator. Pete
