i'd really love to see this move forward, so i'm just going to put together some of the feedback i've gotten, and what i think, so i can see what you all think. - the (bad) code should be given priority - good typography is a must - the first thing someone should see is whether or not their site is valid - the revalidate form shouldn't take priority - there should be a personal feel to it, making the w3c feel reachable (hence the original images) - the page should be cleaned up overall i've come up with a few ideas to meet some of these: 1) i think it would be a great idea to use the dom to make a hide/show link for the revalidation options. that way, only the address box and submit button will be there, but the rest will be easily accessible 2) the help text is a bit redundant, and takes up space. i think it could be fixed by adding an anchor link in it's place, and then only having the text once on the page 3) images should be reintroduced focusing on giving the site a friendly and reachable feel. i'm thinking something like smiling faces, and also perhaps more focus on user feedback when i have time, i'm going to create a full redesign of the validator, instead of just the css, but i'd really enjoy seeing a better designed validator come out of this! -alex
