Hello Austin, Thank you for reporting this issue.

I tracked this down to two separate bugs. One is a bug in the Tidy library, which is integrated in the validator to provide automatic fixing of markup for users who wish to be helped that way. Tidy is the component that happens to hang forever on some pages. Why some pages and not others, I can not yet tell, but I will be reporting the bug to the tidy development team. Is it ok if we copy the page as it is now, and use it as a test case? The other bug was that the validator was running tidy systematically on every content, even when the option had not been requested. This bug is now fixed in the development version of the validator, and will be in the next maintenance release. Fixing the latter bug will not only bypass the problem that was making the validator hang on your web page, it will also improve the speed of the validator a lot, so, many thanks for your report! regards, -- olivier
