hello
i have some asp file and i want to validate them via validator.w3.org.
I'm developing locally so i can't feed the validar
with an url, if i use the option file upload i get an error message:
"Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its content type
is application/octet-stream..", weird enough because i have this line
in all my pages:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
Finally, if i try to validate by direct input all the asp code will
lead to a validate error..
Any helps is appreciated

Content type of an ASP file can and should be set using serveride commands.

Validating serverside code is done by debugging.

Validating of the html result is possible like any html file on the web.

Nothing changes if i add the serverside command to declare the content
type

It should, did you read the header?

Show us the header please.

Please explain what you mean by validating an asp file.
Page validation is usually the term for validating what is sent to the
client, and that is NOT the ASP-file.

An ASP-file is a file that serverside renders an html file that is sent
to the user.

Serverside debugging is quite possible.

Do you want to detect serverside code syntax errors?
If so what serverside programming language do you use under ASP?

ok, those are the first lines:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
......

I want to validate my pages for xhtml 1.0 strict, the problem is that
i have vbscript code merged in all pages
but i want to validate them for xhtml, not for serverside code
I thought that i can validate my page even if i don't have a public
http server

vbscript, but to detect serverside code errors i just feed the page to
my localhost.. there is a
better way?

Thank you for your answers

No, that is the top and <head> section of the html,
please show the header content of the html sent to the client
as returned by xmlhttp.open("HEAD"...:

var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
function getUrlhead(url) {
xmlhttp.open("HEAD", url,false);
xmlhttp.send()
sta = xmlhttp.status
return xmlhttp.getAllResponseHeaders();
};

NO, you have vbscript in your asp-files, but that is not what is sent to
the client, that is simple html, perhaps with clientside script.

so show the html as seen by view-source or the source function of your
browser.

Eh, that seems not to be your primary question?

Uhm.. that's not vbscript and i don't know how to transpose it..

Maybe is that the answer? If i put the hmtl by view-source of the
browser in the validator it can validate it, is this the way i have to
validate a page?
Thx

sigh!

That is clientside javascript to read the header of a sent html.
It is not part of your page, so why do you nead to transpose it to vbs?

Any html sent to the browser has a header section "head" and a html
section "get".

ASP directives in the server asp file direct the server to change the
"head" section.

A typical head section as found by the above code looks like this:

Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:06:27 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Content-Length: 40271
Content-Type: text/html
Expires: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:56:27 GMT
Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDQSBSBBSR=PHBICBCAAIPEKGIMLKEDAGNL; path=/
Cache-control: private

or even [Apache server]

Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 10:31:59 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

typical asp directive that change or ads to such head:

<%
Response.Expires = -10
Response.ContentType = "video/x-ms-asf"
%>

If your definition of validation is to validate the html sent to the
client browser, yes.

I want to validate a page for xhtml 1.0 strict
My page is an .asp file: vbscript + xhtml + javascript
Why are we making it so complex? All i want is to validate my page for
xhtml, so how do i?

An html validator validates html.
ASP generates html.
You need to cause the ASP page to generate the html to be validated.
Only the html can be validated. Hence the need to View Source after
running the page to see the generated html.
