I can appreciate the utility of the validator site for coders. As a user the validator site is intimidating. There are two options (1) Character Encoding with approx 30 options and (2) Document Type with nearly as many. I can probably make a reasonable guess about Character Encoding but Document type - one looks as good as any other. As a user, do I really care that the validator site found 6 errors, when it is more useful to me to load the page in Firefox and move on - just one more site along with my bank and others that don't play nice with Seamonkey. The Mega site is unique in that it specifically uses the term 'outdated' and asks for feedback. I will report back to them the results of the 'validator' site and see if anything happens. Thanks for the reply.
