For that it has to know where from (a server). The normal file:///c:/name is the same as file://localhost/c:/name, but your document isn't on what validator.w3.org would consider as local host (= itself). For that and other reasons the file:-scheme isn't supported by validator.w3.org. Maybe you could enable it if you install a validator on your own localhost, but that's probably not your plan. One URI-scheme where "fetch" is known to work is of course an ordinary http-URI. Or https, or ftp, but I'm, not sure what validator.w3.org supports in addition to http. If your document is on your local host, and you have no http server, forget the "fetch"-approach, simply upload your file, most browsers support this. You can add a check?uri= link when you publish your document on a public Web server later. If that's not your plan stick to the upload recipe. Unrelated: Be careful with blanks in URLs, it doesn't work with some browsers, and besides it's illegal. Simply use %20 to %-encode a blank. Bye, Frank
