I run my sites pages some of which are .asp through the HTML vaildator on http://www.w3.org - www.w3.org .
If I check an ASP page online it says that it vaildated sucessfully, however sombody suggested that I save the ASP page as HTML upload it and vaildate it again, this time there were errors, why can't W3C find these with I check online?

Because when you go to an ASP online, (probably) the server will
execute it and spit out the HTML, the code is invisible.
Uploading the code lets the validator see the code so it can examine
even more of it. Online validation is fine, none of your visitors will see any code problems anyway. |

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but did you just rename yourpage.asp to yourpage.html and try to validate that? If so, then any of the ASP coding (vbscript, etc) will not function properly with a .htm or .html extension. The .asp extension tells IIS (or chilisoft) to preprocess the code as gullian mentioned. The server then renders the resulting HTML code to the browser. ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |
