Between it and the mediaville.net article (and W3C's own installation instructions at http://validator.w3.org/docs/install.html ), I was able to get the W3C validator working on my mac (OS X 10.3.5) just yesterday. I had to install Fink to get OpenSP working; my attempts to build it from source failed, but other than that, it wasn't too tricky. I, too, considered how to work BBEdit into the mix, but gave up on it without doing too much digging into its AppleScript dictionary. I find AppleScript very frustrating to deal with. But if you have the AppleScript to get BBEdit to write its validation results to a file, it sounds like you've got the hard part taken care of, and could easily have the cgi read in the file and display it. BTW, I'd be interested in seeing your AppleScript, if you'd be willing to email it to me, preferably off-list, since it's not really on topic for this list. -- David Dierauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 12 Nov 2004, John Horner wrote: > I'm working through the instructions on the mediaville.net site, but > it's going to take a while from the looks of things. > > How about my original question, just for the sake of it? > > I can, for instance, easily create an AppleScript which tells BBEdit to > validate a certain file and write the results to another file -- how > hard would it be to hook in to that with a CGI script? > > > > On Nov 11, 2004, at 7:06 PM, John Horner wrote: > > > >> I would like to be able to install a browser-based HTML validator on > >> my OSX web server > >
