Can you resolve a css dispute?

is it possible to validate the header file and the index file that referenc

[webjourneyman]

I hired a coder to write for me a html/css template. When he sent me the results I tried to validate the two .shtml files at validator.w3.org. I could only validate one, the other came back with comment: this is a plain text - css file, we cannot process it.

He dared me to ask in a forum if:

Is it possible to validate the header file and the index file that references the header with an iniclude?

So I am.

Info either way, most appreciated.

And it contains only CSS? If so, upload it to:

[jigsaw.w3.org ]

If it doesn't like it, change the extension to .css and try again.

Hi webjourneyman

One always validates the HTML page as it appears on the user's browser. A doctype does not belong in the CSS. For more on the subject, you may have a read of this:

An include file is usually a script and has no doctype either: it is invisible to the user.

Hope this helps

Thanks, I´ve found out how to validate now, by copypasting the two files into one.
