Sadly "bobby" also asks far too many questions on things you have fixed - like asking if you've got alt tags on images (I do) even when the alt tag exists and is blank (like on separator 1x1 gifs). I'm guessing maybe its just a naive implementation, or perhaps bobby hates 1x1 gifs ;-) A better validator service IMHO (although much more resource intensive) would be one which runs old versions of netscape on your page and returns you with a screenshot :) (I'm just kidding about this - I don't honestly expect someone to offer this service - luckily with Unix you _can_ run older browsers without re-installing your operating system). -- <Matt/> Fastnet Software Ltd.
