<h2>How to Provide Feedback<br />
For the W3C Markup Validator</h2>
<dl>
<dt>If your page doesn't validate, and you don't know why, or
you have a question about
<acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
or validation:</dt>
<dd>
<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:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Validating pages with &'s in <acronym
title="Universal Resource Locators">URLs</acronym>:
see <a
href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp">Ampersands
(&'s) in <acronym
title="Universal Resource Identifiers">URLs</acronym></a></li>
<li>Validating pages with JavaScript:
see <a
href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script">Writing
<acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
in a <code>SCRIPT</code> Element</a></li>
</ul>
<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>
<li><a href="http://www.hwg.org/"><acronym
title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym> Writers Guild</a>
<a title="HTML Writers Guild Mailing Lists"
href="http://www.hwg.org/lists/">mailing lists</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
Each of these forums have plenty of experienced <acronym
title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
authors who are willing to share their expertise. If you are
commenting on a specific page, be sure to provide a
<acronym title="Universal Resource Locator">URL</acronym>
when you ask your question!
</p>
</dd>
<dt>If you are interested in helping to improve this
service, by writing code or just providing ideas:</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Please join and contribute to the <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/"><code>www-validator</code> mailing list</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you just have a small patch or idea and don't want to join the list, feel
free to <a title="Send a message to the www-validator mailing list"
href="mailto:www-validator@w3.org">send it directly to the list</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>If you want to report a bug or log a feature request:</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The W3C maintains a public bug tracking database known as <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/">Bugzilla</a> where developers
and other technical users can log bug reports and feature suggestions
directly. If you are not familiar with issue tracking systems in general
or the Bugzilla bug tracker, send your feedback to the mailing list
and someone on the W3C Validator Team will take care of logging your
issue as appropriate.
