Not yet, but it looks like I will have to use the one at the library if I ever want to use the W3C site again.

Yes, it's plugged in. However, the MSNtv thing will likely be with us for a while. Maybe one of these days, though.

Have you tried looking at the site/page on someone elses computer? Could be your computer that's causing the problem...

Can you remember setting/installing/uninstalling anything recently?

Is the cable plugged in?

If all else fails, get rid of MSNtv

It still looks the same. It has the W3C logo in the upper-left at the top. Below that I saw the text box with the link to my site in it, and there's two blank (no text) drop-down boxes to the right of that text box. Just below that, there is a button that says "Revalidate" with 6 check boxes beside it (no text anywhere around these). Below that and down the left margin, there are a bunch of blue-colored bullets (no text beside them, just the white of the page), then it starts the numbers and goes all the way from 1-804. I previously thought it was numbering 1-104, then restarting, but it was just a problem with seeing the first numberwhen it got up past 99 (I had trouble seeing all 3 digits of the hundreds).

Beats me, but thanks for trying. Btw, I don't mind if you call me Steve.

fiesty,

See if you can see THIS.

Well, I removed the comments, but unfortunately got the same almost "blank" pages (other than normal home page, and the text boxes and buttons only on the validator pages). It's as if the thing doesn't want me to view it. I scrolled down on the one page, and there were bullets down the left margin, then numbers following that (from 1 - 104, I think, then repeating again down the page), but no text. Very strange, especially after it's worked so well for about 4 months or so now. Perhaps it is something to do with that new browser "update" I got from MSN.

Okay, I'll try removing the comments. I think I saw the comments around the DOCTYPE when viewing the source code of someone's site on here. Might have been one of Busy's sites, but I'm not sure. All I did was type it out as it was on the source code of who ever's site I was viewing the source code of. Again, I'll removing the comments, but I don't know if that will be enough to solve this problem because it used to work fine for me (up until I tried to use the HTML validator Friday night).
Thanks to you both.

Because the validator does that if you suppress the doctype and replace it with their own. They also note you'll have to make the changes yourself to make it REALLY valid when you do that. DOCTYPE cannot be commented out and work. Period.

disaster-master — Mon, 24 Mar 2003 15:13:35 +0000

Have you even tried to remove the comment tags from the doctype and see if the w3c validator works?

Why do you have the doctype in comment tags anyway?

fiesty_01 — Sun, 23 Mar 2003 22:15:01 +0000

Thanks Sonia. Actually, I have seen the source listing (of my site) several times before on the W3C HTML validator (with the in place). But I've been unable to validate or check the source of ANY site (mine or anyone else's) lately for some reason. Oh well, thanks for the link to that other page. Seems like many of my errors right now are JavaScript errors (such as missing NAME or TYPE). Not sure how I'm gonna check the XHTML 1.0 Transitional Stuff, though (go on what I know is transitional, I guess). Thanks again!

disaster-master — Sun, 23 Mar 2003 08:11:24 +0000

It is working fine for me. Now, I believe that if your page doesn't have a doctype or the correct one it won't show the source listing. Could that be your problem?

Quote: Are there any other HTML validators on the web that also allow you to view source code?

This one does. Just enter your URL and run the test.

Fiesty, remove the comment tags (in red) from around your doctype. You should be able to see the source listing then.
