What would you use it for? Markup validation is about detecting reportable errors in markup. The only reason for wanting to exclude some part of the markup would be that it causes so many error messages that you have difficulties in distinguishing them from the errors that you can affect. Even then, it is better to validate it all, analyze the reason when you first do this, check whether you can fix the problems after all, and to the extent you cannot, just document the situation for yourself and your coworkers. > For example, if a website is successfully checked/validated and then you > decide to add an external widget, the code might not always validate. If there is a reason for validating markup, then there is surely a reason to validate when you especially suspect that there can be errors. > Is there any ignore tag available for this? No. Yucca
