Validator isn't following all links on a website

Post by urmel1960 »

Hello,

I am currently evaluating 9.03 and now I tried to validate a website using the "Follow Links option". The validator is checking all pages but it isn't going below the first level even I choose the -1 flag to say no limits in depth.

Is this a limitation of the trial version or am I doing something wrong ?

Any help is highly appreciated

Regards, Urmel

Yes, it could be a trial limit. There is a limit to help make sure you do not quickly use up all of your trial validations (and if so, then it should display a message telling you about that). The Batch Wizard is a good way to do that.

You could try the v10 BETA without any limitation. You can use it free until August 1, 2010:
