W3C Compliance

[oneshed]

Is non-compliance a bug? I am new stat counter user and aim for all my Web pages to pass W3C.

I posted the code on two pages as a trial but it wont pass W3C 4.01 html trans because there seems to be a </a> missing just before the final </noscript>

I do not write javascript but imagine that the missing end tag could easily be added? Can someone advise? I am aware that user anendments are strictly forbidden.

The tag should be there. You must have lost it when inserting it.
Generate the code again and look at it. Then insert it carefully.

I agree it should be there - but it isn't. I can't see how I could have lost it since I copied the whole piece of code as a block (carefully too).

Moreover, I copied two separate instances of the code - one visible and one not - both have the tag missing.

Generate it again and paste it into Notepad. Do you see it now? if you see it there and you don't see it on your page, you're losing it, that's all.

If your'e using a WYSIWYG editor this and worse would happen.

Well - just to humour you - even though I do not use wysiwyg and have been hand coding html using notepad for the last five years - I regenerated the code.

And the </a> is still missing.

So do I

- abandon W3C?
- abandon Statcounter?
- fix it each time myself?
- wait for the generator to be fixed?

I'm just trying to be helpful here.

You're right!

It must be a new bug because it used to work OK before (I have all my pages correct and I used the generator).

But now, there is this bug, the missing </a> before </noscript> !
