Sounds like a very reasonable request to me. I guess it's just an oversight that on the results page, the <input> element containing the URL has no size attribute. This means that the visible width of the field is some browser-dependent default value, typically around 20. Since URLs are usually longer, and often much longer, a setting like size="40", as in the validator's main user interface, would seem appropriate. I wouldn't even object to size="50", even though imposes a relativelty large minimal requirement on page width. Currently, it's also a problem if you wish to print a validator report. The input field is the only identification of the page being validated, so it's not nice to have it chopped off. (Admittedly, the page URL also appears in the page title, which might be printed, too - or it might not, depending on print settings.) Perhaps the style sheet could be modified so that upon printing, the text input field is printed as a whole (maybe by setting overflow: visible for it). -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
