Validating -- or is this a bug report? I don't know. My pages validate properly (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) when I submit them as direct inline; but the pages fail when I submit the URL because by hosting service (Yahoo!) adds a comment-protected Javascript at the end for collection of statistics. So, when a user clicks on the validator link (if I add it to the page), the user thinks my pages are invalid. What the heck?? Specifically, here is the end of the source code shown by the validator - with no other errors except those related this server- added code: --- good code above here --- </html> HERE FOLLOWS THE STUFF ADDED BY YAHOO! SERVER: ------------------------- <!-- text below generated by server.

For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.
