Hi, all. The page http://tucsonart.info/murals/ie_test.html wouldn't display correctly in several versions of Internet Explorer, though Validator reported "This document was successfully checked as HTML 4.01 Transitional!" (http://validator.w3.org/, version v0.8.5, as of today, 20 September 2009). I eventually found an invalid closing comment tag inside the <style> block in the <head> section. Instead of --> the tag was ->> (with two greater-than signs). Here are the start and end of that block: <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { .....omitted... } ->> </style> The fixed document, http://tucsonart.info/murals/index.html, displays correctly in IE (of course). I'm not sure if this qualifies as something that Validator should complain about, but I thought I'd report it. (By the way, Firefox 3.5 ignored the error and displayed the page.)
