I haven't used the W3 validator for some number of months, but when I wanted to check some changes I made to my web pages, the validator was NOT checking MY web page, but some other web page! This pages look fine in my browser. Example: http://www.dbh3.us/ ==> actually retrieves: http://www.dbh3.us/index,html http://www.dbh3.us/index,html ==> is a redirect to /dbh3/ http://www.dbh3.us/dbh3/ ==> actually retrieves: http://www.dbh3.us/dbh3/index.shtml Address: http://www.dbh3.us/ Address: http://www.dbh3.us/index.html Address: http://www.dbh3.us/dbh3/ Address: http://www.dbh3.us/dbh3/index.shtml Any of the above four Addresses in the "Validate by URL" box on http://validator.w3.org/ produces: This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict! Note: The URL you gave me, <http://www.dbh3.us/dbh3/index.shtml>, returned a redirect to <http://localhost/>. First of all, my web page is HTML 4.01, not XHTML 1.0! Second, my web page does NOT redirect to http://localhost/ The file: http://www.dbh3.us/index.html does redirect to /dbh3/, but this ought to be irrelevant if I specify the complete URL. Anyway, checking address: http://www.dbh3.us/ USED TO CORRECTLY load and check http://www.dbh3.us/dbh3.index.shtml If I directly send a local file from my computer, this works and the file checks OK. Other possibly useful information: My domain: "http://www.dbh3.us/", is hosted on ipowerweb.com and is equivalent to: "http://host164.ipowerweb.com/~dbh3usaa/" I have several other domains that point to this same web host account: http://www.floridah3.us/ ==> http://www.dbh3.us/FloridaH3/ http://www.orlandoh3.com/ ==> http://www.dbh3.us/orlandoh3/ http://www.fleet80.com/ ==> http://www.dbh3.us/fleet80/ I have the following redirects programmed in my web host control panel: /FloridaH3/ ==> http://www.floridah3.us/ /H3/ ==> http://www.floridah3.us/ /OrlandoH3/ ==> http://www.orlandoh3.com/ /fleet80/ ==> http://www.fleet80.com/ Validating the following URLs work fine: http://www.floridah3.us/ http://www.orlandoh3.com/ (this has some errors, I'm hosting this for a friend, and I didn't write it) http://www.fleet80.com/ Validating the following URLs FAIL the same as described above: http://www.dbh3.us/FloridaH3/ http://www.dbh3.us/H3/ http://www.dbh3.us/orlandoh3/ http://www.dbh3.us/fleet80/ Typing any of the above four URLs in my browser correctly redirects and displays the intended page.
