CSE HTML Validator

Should CSE (v8 Standard) automatically validate external stylesheets?

I have a page with the usual link tag, e.g.
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" />

I know there are errors in it but CSE reports nothing. I do get warnings in the Styles tab for some inline styles that library code generates.

If I select the stylesheet in the Links tab and use 'Open Link in Editor' I can then F6 and find the errors.

I had hoped CSE would do this automatically. I think I have all the correct settings (e.g. 'Enable CSS style checking' in the 'Style (CSS)' options tab).

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris,

You will have to open external CSS files separately to check them for errors. However, if you're crawling a site using the Batch Wizard, then it will in most cases also check the CSS file.

When working with a document in the editor, CSE HTML Validator does not automatically go into other documents. This keeps things simpler and lets you work only on the document you have opened.

Albert,

Many thanks, now I know how it is supposed to work.

P.S. Good product by the way
