Description Keith Kirby 2008-07-28 19:31:14 UTC 
Validator returns the following:

File not found: http://madkirby.com/Mad's style sheet.css: Not Found

Yet clicking on the same URL shown above in the report and you go immediately to the file.
I just completed a successfull validation for the HTML in the index page and would like to be able to validate the CSS file

Thanks .... Keith

Spaces are not allowed in URLs, and while some browsers will "escape" those spaces and correct the broken URLs, other agents will not.

Either rename the files (remove the spaces) or escape the URLs in your HTML (replace the spaces with "%20")
