Check the URI. I just checked and got the same error message. Apparently the W3C services do not talk to each other fast enough... You can omit the URL from the doctype declaration, but then IE will go to Quirks Mode when displaying your document. > I don't quite understand the reason why the link is being checked at all. Beats me too. Theoretically, it makes sense because the URL is a reference that should be correct. But practically, browsers don't use it as a URL, and I have doubts about markup validators too. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
