Re: [Htmlvalidator-help] validator, tag case

[Dave F. <dfr...@ho...>]

Hi:

I am going to set up a VM to try and build your code.
Can you tell me what version of mozilla you are compiling and what =
compiler you are using - VC6 or VS2003 ?
or better yet - is there a set of instructions you use to set up a =
compile environment on XP -SP2  someplace on the web that you use ??

Thanks, Dave

  Hi Stef,

  Both algorithm are HTML/XHTML validator.
  - Tidy
  - SGML parser

  The problem is that both can contains bugs. I can not solve bugs =
without seeing them.
  I need a testcase to reproduce them. I think that the issue is that =
Tidy probably detect=20
  your page as HTML not XHTML.

  For the SGML parser =3D the same validator than validator.w3c.org that =
I am sure=20
  takes care of the uppercase tags or not.=20
  For Tidy, I am not sure.

  Marc

Hi Stef,

HTML allows uppercase tags. Not XHTML. It could be that
tidy has a bug about it or that the DTD is not well
defined in your case. What means that the XHTML/HTML
detection works differently for both program.

Yes, the document I was validating was XHTML 1.0.  So it
sounds like you're saying that your validator only validates
HTML, not XHTML.  Is this correct?

  I need a testcase to log such a bug in Tidy and to see if
it is really a bug.

The file is XHTML.  Do you still want an XHTML document with
<ol> that your validator let's slide?  (Note:  I doubt it'll
be a problem, but there's a small possibility that I may not
be able to reproduce it.)

  Hope it helps,

Marc

I glanced at it, and noted that it's an HTML, not an XHTML
validator.  Although it did say something about XHTML help.
Anway, was there something in particular you wanted me to
look at?  Or were you saying this beta version may work
better?  I wouldn't mind testing it out, at least on that
one file, although I'll likely stick with the stable version
for now.
