- <p>Your page doesn't validate, and you don't know why, or
- you have a question about <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>,
- stylesheets or validation?</p>
- <p>
- <strong>First, check our <a href="docs/help.html">Help and <acronym title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</acronym> document</a>, as well as the
- <a href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/">Web authoring <acronym title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</acronym></a>
- to see if your question has been answered there.</strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- The two most common problems are:
- <a href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp">Validating pages with
- ampersands (&amp;'s) in
- <acronym title="Uniform Resource Locators">URLs</acronym></a> and
- <a href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script">Validating pages with
- JavaScript: <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
- in a <code>SCRIPT</code> Element</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- If your problem isn't covered by one of the resources above,
- you can send it to one of the following forums:
- </p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Usenet newsgroup: <code><a href="news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html">comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html</a></code></li>

- </ul>
-
- <p>
- Each of these forums have plenty of experienced <acronym

- authors who are willing to share their expertise. If you are

-<h3 id="errormsg">Error Message feedback</h3>
- <p>If you think the error messages in the Markup Validator's result pages could be improved, or are not comprehensible,
- you can send questions and suggestions to our mailing-list.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>Before you send any feedback on error messages, we encourage you to search the archives for existing messages on this error
- in case your feedback has already been sent, or answers to
- your query have already been given. </p>

-
- <p>Once you have checked that your suggestion has not been given yet, you can send your message. To write an efficient message:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Add a meaningful subject</strong>: summarize your feedback in a handful of words;</li>
- <li>If our system added [VE][XX] at the beginning of the mail subject, keep it.
- Otherwise, please precise which error message you are sending feedback about;</li>
- <li><strong>Give a URL</strong> whenever possible: If your feedback comes from your experience validating a page, knowing what page it was will help us diagnose issues much quicker.
- </li>
- <li>Explain your suggestion, or question, in a clear and informative manner.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Once you have checked all the criteria above,

- The W3C maintains a public bug tracking database known as <a

- directly. If you are not familiar with issue tracking systems in general
- or the Bugzilla bug tracker, send your feedback to the <a href="#mailinglist">mailing list</a>
- and someone on the W3C Validator Team will take care of logging your
- issue as appropriate.
