Batch Wizard - false validation errors
Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 6:43 am
Hi,
I am using latest Beta 9 and the Batch Wizard to automatically validate a webproject with hundreds of files using the URL & follow link method. This works really good, but I always get false positives in the validation report.
If I validate the same file within HTML Validator the page is valid.
It says:
-----------------------------------
2:2 Error The "html" tag must have an end tag (</html>) but the end tag was not found. In XHTML, all elements not declared as empty (like "b", "p", "span", etc.) must have an end tag. Elements declared as empty (like "br", "img", "input", etc.) can have an end tag or can use the empty element shorthand.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
60 Error Reached the end of the document before the ending '>', '-->', '?>', '##>', or '%>'.
</html
Comment CSE HTML Validator Professional 9.00 BETA 1 expires on October 1, 2008, 138.46 days from now. Note that BETA versions always expire, even if registered. Comment "Errors only" mode enabled. Not a thorough or complete validation.
-----------------------------------
I also found some sections where the report shows the following:
-----------------------------------
78:8 Error Found text after the </html> end tag. Text should not appear here.
</html>s
Comment CSE HTML Validator Professional 9.00 BETA 1 expires on October 1, 2008, 138.46 days from now. Note that BETA versions always expire, even if registered. Comment "Errors only" mode enabled. Not a thorough or complete validation.
-----------------------------------
But as you already mentioned no text after the closing </html> tag. Maybe the Batch wizard has some problems following dynamical pages (PHP in this case) where the links to follow has attributes in it (f.ex. index.php?id=3, or something like this: http://localhost/index.php?dir=EV%20MO
But it also happens on pages without any dynamical links to follow.
Maybe an importand addtional information is that all files are XHTML 1.0 transitional and UTF-8 encoded (content & file-encoding), if this is useful.
Any help would be really appreciated as it´s a bit annoying to double check the results and hundreds of false validation messages.
Thank you very much and kind regards
