The image is replaced by the plugin, as the used size 88x31 matches one of the sizes defined in the plugins defaults. As we are generating our website via XML/XSLT the url-snippet we us IS DIFFERENT TO THE ONE PROPOSSED (see below) by the validator but I guess the will happen with the default-snippet too. Workaround - setting the width-attribute to "89" (without modifying the real image) show's the image again to the user. (removing the 88x31 from the default-list of the plugin would only 'repair' my local copy - other users still wont see the logo) As all the Validator-Logos show the same size (we are using the "valid CSS Level 2.1 to - same problem) this will probaly happen to the other logos as well. Our generated (workaround-) versions of the validator-references look like this: <a class="float_lnk" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img src="Entities/icons/valid-html401-blue.png" alt="" width="89" height="31" title="valid HTML 4.01 Transitional" style="margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:5px;" ></a> <a class="float_lnk" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer"><img src="Entities/icons/vcss-blue.gif" alt="" width="89" height="31" title="valid CSS level 2.1" style="margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:5px;" ></a> 28894 1 ville.skytta 2009-10-23 12:50:37 +0000 I don't think there's anything the validator should even try to do about this. If a user chooses to use a product that does (or is configured to do) things like this to certain sized images, they get what they asked for. 28895 2 aja 2009-10-23 13:03:09 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > I don't think there's anything the validator should even try to do about this. > If a user chooses to use a product that does (or is configured to do) things > like this to certain sized images, they get what they asked for. > Hmm ... so it's ok - from your point of view - that the "this is a web-site that cares about the standards" - will not be visible to lot's of visitors. I guess there could/should be some sort of hint at least that using the correct extension will hide the logo from users...
