Wow, that thing sure is picky! Very nice!! It's the best, most anal HTML
validator I've ever seen! I think it's my new favorite.[1]
I ran it on http://www.lugnet.com/ and it balked at this link:
<A HREF="/spotlight.cgi?days=7&threshold=50&sort=fuzzy">Mo ...
^
Error: general entity "threshold" not defined and no default entity
At first I thought that was a bug in their parser -- that it thought I'd
meant to write "&threshold;" and it was checking for that in the wrong place,
but of course the mistake is entirely mine -- I neglected to encode the "&"
symbol in the URL. Rewritten like so, now it's correct HTML:
<A HREF="/spotlight.cgi?days=7&=50&sort=fuzzy">Mo ...
My, I think I've got a lot of these to fix.
It also told me that I was missing the TYPE="text/javascript" attribute in
several <SCRIPT> tags. Waycool, because I didn't know that attribute even
existed, much less that it was required.
