Hi Magnus,


Perhaps I'm confused.  I was under the impression that the W3C validator merely combed through your code ... as a flat text file ... and run that through some logic or database on it's own end.

I didn't think it 'executed' anything at your server end.

That's why I'm confused when you say it 'rejects' cookies. Aren't cookies and sessions part of your server-side functionality -- as opposed to being a part of the specification you are trying to validate against?

I really don't think the W3C does any kind of functional or logical testing of your code at all ... I think it's purely syntactical.


Maybe try running your script -- saving the result sent to your client browser in an HTML file and uploading that through the W3C validator.


HTH,

RonL.

Assuming that the user accepts the cookie that is true :-)

Guess what happens when you try to validate a page which use sessions,
the validator 'rejects' the session cookie, and so the sid is part of
all my links.
