- ---------------------------
- September 28, 1997 Release of version 2.50 BETA 2
-
- ** No more new, "major" features will be added to HTML
- Validator before the release version of 2.50 **
-
- If a tag name has an invalid attribute, HTML Validator
- will include in the error message a list of the valid
- attributes that the tag name can have.
-
- If an attribute has an invalid attribute value, HTML
- Validator will include in the error message a list
- of the valid values that the attribute can have.
-
- HTML Validator can now log the results of validations
- to a log file. You can drag and drop multiple
- HTML files onto HTML Validator and then view the
- log to see what files have errors. You can then
- manually go to the files that have the errors
- individually.
-
- Ability to detect when you are validating a part
- of an HTML document instead of a complete document,
- such as a section of HTML that belongs in a BODY
- section. HTML Validator will assume that it belongs
- in a BODY section so that numerous errors will not
- be reported. This makes it easy to validate HTML that
- will be inserted into an HTML document's BODY section
- by the server, or by HTML Validator's template tool.
-
- Fixed a bug where the valid range of the tag was not
- computed correctly in some cases.
-
- When a tag is out of range, the error message will
- now include the tag's valid and invalid ranges,
- as well as a message that indicates that the tag was
- not in the valid range or that it was in the invalid
- range.
-
- Updated help file.
-
- More changes to the HTML Configuration file.
-
- Can now specify messages to be displayed when a tag
- or attribute is used and when an attribute doesn't
- have a valid value. This is a significant new feature
- that will allow valuable information to be displayed
- according to what tags and attributes you use.
-
- The analyze feature for the attributes and attribute
- values has been enhanced to notify of any entries
- that have not yet been assigned a category.
-
- Option to display a warning messages if an attribute
- if missing (has not been used).
-
- Minor bug fixes.
