Description pasquale_unimib 2007-09-19 10:11:45 UTC 
Your web Validator (http://validator.w3.org) raise 4 errors on asp.net 2.0 web-site,  while the same page , saved as agenda.html, is validated without errors by validate_by_upload.
Example:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fweb1.si.unimib.it%2Fagenda%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Your web validator does not recognize, div tag, in asp.net 2.0 pages.
thank you.

The errors *are* there when served by your server to the validator. 
It's a pity ASP.net is apparently so broken and does some browser sniffing , hence serving different content to GUI browsers and to the validator, (or maybe your code is bad, or maybe your asp.net server is misconfigured) but that's not the validator's fault.
