CSS HTML Validator Support

When testing I thought of running some encodings other than ANSI and UTF-8. (I abandoned the idea.) When looking at that I couldn't find a list of valid values for the charset (http-equiv/content-type and it's really an encoding!) in the documentation. I think it would be valuable to have a list of ...

Hi, I've just run through a few tests of Beta 2a. The tests comprised about twenty pages, containing, HTML 4 , XHTML 1 transitional, some encoded as ANSI, some as utf-8, windows, unix, mac line ends, asp code embedded and aspx code embedded. These are validation tests, with my custom setup and both ...

Hi Phil, Utf-8 is a great idea and will, I believe, ultimately become very common. At present the world is full of editors and text changing tools that either do not understand it or do it wrong (as you've found). I find it perfectly possible to use utf-8 where the content is not subject to a variet...

Hi Lars, I'm know nothing about the review you refer to. I'd recommend that you form your own opinions of what is good layout and practice. Then base your decision on what you want . In my experience reviews often come to conclusions different from my own but are useful. (I'm not even going into a d...

This might be the commonest error made in web pages.

You can get away with believing you're writing normal text, most of the time, but this shows that it's not.

I don't think there is a work around. (However pages that get this right do indicate web authors who know what they're doing.)

Hi, I've emailed a zip with two files inside. These files illustrate ASP.NET 1.1 pages with code on the page and several references (import statements), and a selection of ASP.NET tags as found in source (before the engine renders them). The context has been shortened and confidential material remov...

I suggest using a diff tool . My experience is that once you've tried one of these you use it all the time. There's free tools out there, I can't comment on them. I use something called Beyond Compare and I use it constantly. (These things seem not be in the general consciousness but they ought to b...

Hi David, I published something related recently, there's a copy on the CSE site. It's native .NET code that uses the V 7 DLL via Interop. The write up is pretty basic but it does have some rudimentary unit tests (provided you set it up with provided configuration). There is not additional support. ...

This can be a class not registered error. (Regsvr32 to fix.)

It's documented in various places like

Hi, If it happens again I'll try to dig out more information. Currently I have a dump of knowledge base articles that Microsoft automatically selected from the logged event. It's not very specific as it lists what I estimate is more than 90 articles. I put these into a word document. (There was too ...

Hi Albert, Those messages are a Windows 2003 thing. Just part of the normal run of operations, after reboot. I seldom send the report but I really like a reminder of anything that might have gone wrong. (I've never taken the time to get a deeper insight into this subsystem.) I'm running a fair amoun...

Hi, To get a clean slate I ran a reboot (something I normally avoid) and tested again . Findings as follows: 1) After reboot I think I got three messages from OS as follows, "I shut down do you want to report", "I closed CSE" and "I closed CSE do you want to report". 2) After that validation worked ...

Hi, I've looked at the failing page again. (page sent in separate email) Details: 1) CSE 8 installed but CSE 7 DLL in system directory and CSE 7 installed in parallel. 2) The page now fails every time whether it's the first or a subsequent page. Formerly see previous posts. 3) The page was created a...

In my brief test the corresponding messages had regular and corresponding text descriptions, this suggested a simple technique:

Hi Albert, Unfortunately the problem is intermittent , so not reliably reproducible. (Timing? First Page checked?) I was disappointed when it happened again. The repeats were silent shutdown of CSE 8 so I don't know of any documentation that could throw light on the issue. (I got the more useful mes...
