I'd like a DTD for "XHTML 1.2 transvestitional".  Bye, Frank

User Feedback: Which page did I just validate?

When I validate a number of pages, the results page would really help if 
it told me the name of the file I had just checked - especially when the 
page validates!
When it does not, I'm generally clear on which page failed.
This would be a nice addition for both upload and online validation.
(Dead easy to add, surely!)

It does tell you which file you just validated, although perhaps not in 
a visible enough manner:

for URI-mode:
[[ The document located at <http://www.w3.org/>  was checked and found 
to be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. ]]
and for upload, there is
[[ File: index.html ]]
at the top.

Re: [VE][79] Error Message Feedback

Hi Scott,

Short answer: you're probably better off calling an external script 
than struggling with the necessary escaping when embedding scripts 
within HTML.

slightly longer answer follows...

This feels like a misunderstanding: the validator does not read within 
scripts just because that may be a fun thing to do, but because it is 
the way it is supposed to parse the document.

I am sure you read

which points to 
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script which 
states:
[[ the first occurrence of "</" followed by any letter is considered 
the end tag for the SCRIPT element ]]

Defaulting charset on the server

Someone just drew attention to an open bug report in Apache concerning
shipping with an AddDefaultCharset set by default in httpd.conf.
This leads to bogus charsets being served in many cases.

I've just put forward a suggestion, but I'd welcome review from those
familiar with character encoding issues and CA-2000-02 (which is the
main argument in favour of the current behaviour).

Comments and suggestions please:

Dear "EE",

Questions regarding the CSS validator should go to the specific list 
www-validator-css <at> w3.org

> How and where can I get the css validator.

On this page [1] you will find a link to instructions [2] for download 
and a guide [3] for the installation.

Please note this is known to not be absolutely trivial.
Good luck.

[VE][108] Error Message Feedback

Request for validator FAQ addition

Hi folks,

We frequently get the question "Can I create my own logo/icon to
indicate that my page is valid?" [Often accompanied by: "The
style of the W3C's logos/icons clashes with that of my site."]

Here's a proposed Q/A:

 "I'd like to show my support for W3C and the validator service with
  a slight variation on the W3C logo. Is this ok?

 "W3C appreciates your support for open standards and the validator
  service. Unfortunately, these logos are part of the W3C brand and 
  thus we prefer that people not create variations. If you do not
  wish to include the standard logo on every page, you might include 
  it on a special page that provides information about your site 
  (e.g., a site map, or a policy page, or some other page describing 
  the features of your site)."

Another option, perhaps even better, is to create a paragraph about
the logo usage policy. I note that the logo policy page [1] refers
to the validator pages for policy information about those logos, but
I can't find any policy information there. 

If you send me a URI to policy info for the validator logos/icons,
I'll update [1].

Thanks!
