Can anyone tell me if the problem described at the URL below has been

Don't care, use this one instead:

http://validator.w3.org/

Micha

There, I fixed that for you.

Eh?

o, and thx Les! lol.

Just received word from Macromedia that the problem described at the URL above
is still an issue. In other words the XHTML 1.0 Strict validator still has
deficiencies in V8, and was not fixed. They did say that it will be fixed in
"future versions".

In the meantime, for those that have requirements to confirm to the strict
standard, do not use Dreamweaver's XHTML 1.0 Strict validator in MX 2004, or 8
and expect accurate results.

I recently tested and approved a solution that not only validates correctly,
but will batch process multiple files. Check out "A Real Validator" at
http://arealvalidator.com/. So, if you don't like using the online W3C
validator, this may be the one for you.

Personally, I never rely on DW's validation. Never have. Never will.

So this one is a <shrug> for me. But that's me....

Even if/when it is fixed and validates correctly, Murray? Perhaps you really
don't have a need for it.

Would be handy to validate in the same place I build. Dreamweaver has the
potential of being the all-in-one solution: build, link check, validate,
publish, source control. This is why I'm disappointed (and surprised) that
Macromedia ignored fixing the validator in V8. Particularily in light of the
manditory use Section 508, and CLF for government Web sites.

What do you use, if any?

I just use the W3 validator. And I definitely have a need for it. 8)

However, I can see your point. On the other hand, there are many other
things I would rather they devote their development dolloar to, particularly
since there is this excellent alternative.
