Many thanks Chuck. I thought I had tried that. I find that the "referer" keyword still doesn't work, even after I navigate to the page to validate as https: and use https: for the validator. I note that the FAQ page you referenced says: "As the validator at validator.w3.org is currently not available over HTTPS, this referrer feature will not work reliably for documents transferred over secure protocols (usually https URLs) with it." However, if I replace "referer" with the full https: uri for the page to validate, it works. A similar approach with the CSS validator does not work. I can't get https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check to work for the specific page, either as referer or as a full specific page URI. It always truncates the uri after the hostname and tries to validate the site root. Cheers, -- Ted Hall
