It looks like your server is broken, its claiming that the length of
the document is shorter then it really is. Many clients, including the
validator, believe the server and stop listening after they have
recieved the specified amount of data.

I'd suspect a bug in mod_banner.

The Validation service does not choose what is valid and what is not, 
it is only following specifications to determine what is valid. Whether 
browsers understand or not invalid constructs is not relevant to the 
validator.

... because "hand" is not an accepted value for cursor, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html
and for the next version of CSS
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-css3-ui-20040511/#cursor
However I found:
no-drop
  Indicates that the dragged item cannot be dropped at the current 
cursor location. Often rendered as a hand or pointer with a small 
circle with a line through it.

Maybe that's what you were looking for?

How about a link to

Redirection bug?

Hi, there seems to be a bug in the validator whenever i run my site
through it now it bring sup an error like this

The URL you gave me, <http://www.cyberaxe.net/Test/>, returned a
redirect to <http://www.plus.net/index.html?pn_session=2a2c0481df94592e455613670afa5503>.

but if you visit the url you arent redirected and this doesnt happen
with the CSS Validator either just the HTML Validator.

My website used to work last time i checked its just now its stopped
working i checked your hellp and FAQ but it didnt seem to address
this.

Your site seems quite broken, a HEAD request with only Host/Connection
headers gets back

  HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
  Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2005 05:02:33 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_perl/1.28 PHP/4.3.5
  Connection: close
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

And depending on the request you get back that redirect or the content,
you should investigate /Test/ or the server configuration (or someone
who does that for you) to fix this problem. This is not a bug in the
Validator, and in fact, I am not able to reproduce this at the moment
with the online version.

CVS HEAD is not very stable yet.  Unless you want to help hacking the
bleeding edge Validator, I'd recommend downloading production version
tarballs from http://validator.w3.org/source/

That's mod_perl 1.99+, not Perl 1.99+.  Validator's support for mod_perl
is still somewhat fragile, that's one reason why that part of the config
is commented out by default.  Try without mod_perl (ie comment out those
sections again) and see if that helps.

Peculiar validation results for certain XHTML 1.1 documents

Hello,

I am a little confused by the results from the markup validator when
using <li /> in XHTML 1.1 documents. This and what followed from it
brought up some questions.

0. Is <li /> correct XHTML 1.1 (and correct XHTML 1.0 Strict)? I wasn't
able to find out anywhere on the web.

1. When uploading an XHTML 1.1 document with the text/html content-type
and the the <li /> tag, the validator says:

	Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with
	an SGML parser.

Shouldn't that be an XML parser?

2. On <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq#mime11> I read that using
the text/html content-type is invalid for XHTML 1.1 documents and that
something like application/xhtml+xml should be used instead. But when
uploading an XHTML 1.1 document with this content-type and the <li />
tag, the validator asserts that the document has the text/html
content-type and again says to have parsed the document with an SGML
parser.

3. On <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/conformance.html#strict> an example
XHTML 1.1 document is given that has no content-type meta tag at all.
When uploading an XHTML 1.1 document without such a meta tag, the
validator says:

	No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8.

Is the example on the given page incorrect by omitting the meta tag or
does it simply assume that an HTTP server will be specifying the
content-type?

If desired, I can mail or otherwise publish the documents I uploaded to
the validator.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Tim van der Molen

[VE][257] Error Message Feedback

I am not sure what this line is in my html, and the validator is
saying it is wrong.

Can I just delete it, or do I need it.  My HTML editor placed it in my code.

Thanks for your help
