Problems running W3 validator from XP
My efforts to use the W3 HTML validator fail every time because the MIME type is text. In the past, I was able to validate files. Other than chucking my operating system, do you have any suggestions as to how I can address this problem? Thank you very much.
Hmm... Are you pointing it to a file on a server or just browsing for the local .HTML file and uploading it? If it is a server, then there is something set wrong on your server. If it is a local file, there should BE a MIME type. Josh John Hagerson wrote:

Oops, that last sentence should read, "If it is a local file, there should NOT be a MIME type." Joshua Hutchinson wrote:

This is a known problem with XP Service Pack 2 & IE. Details here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/8867.htm & more places if you google: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=validate+w3c+xp+sp2+IE&btnG=Search&hl=en & discussed at DP here: http://www.pgdp.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=88608&highlight=validate+xp#88608 As a permanent fix - use a real browser :) Download one here: http://www.mozilla.org/ I'm a recent convert from Mozilla for browsing & email to Firefox for browsing & Thunderbird for email.
