Description Ralf Hauser 2003-01-27 09:19:45 UTC 
When I click the validate xhtml link on the above URL, everything is fine.

When I save the html to my desktop and then validate it with
http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html, I get 
<<Errors:  	1

    * Note: The Validator XML support has some limitations.

Won't be looked at for 0.6.2. Setting target to 0.7.0 for review in that timeframe.
Comment 2 Terje Bless 2004-09-01 13:16:11 UTC 
Nominating for review for 0.7.0 release.
Comment 3 Olivier Thereaux 2004-09-08 02:40:55 UTC 
The  test case given in the "URL" field now gives a 404.

The sample document does not exist and I fail to see the relevance of the 
Mozilla bug here. The Validator will complain if a document lacks a title 
element regardless of how you validate the document; maybe you validated the 
wrong file or your user agent made changes to the document when saving it to 
disk?
