While it might be good, such a task is beyond the scope of the validator. I believe one of the WCAG checkpoints covers using non-w3c technologies, so this might be within the scope of a WCAG checker. I don't believe there are any W3C errors to produce such a tool at this time (although there are a number of third party tools). Such a tool could make efforts to detect the use of non-W3C technologies (like Flash and GIF) > I am continually seeing Macromedia Shockwave Flash files embedded > and then reciving error popups at present. You could try using a browser which ignores unknown <object>s instead of prompting you to install the needed software. -- David Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/>
