On validation of the HTML file, this error wasn't flagged, either as an error or as a warning.

Hello,

I'm assuming you are referring to the "http://https://" at the start of the link?

The link checker should catch that problem. If you validate in CSS HTML Validator's editor and then go to the Links tab in the Results Window and run a link check then it should show an error for that link.
