modified page that validates
5.09 KB, text/html
Details
When you attempt to install the java plugin, a number of windows pop up including one that asks you to select a java plugin for your particular os (see http://home.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html?mimetype=application/x-java-vm) This page has a number of major html errors (see the above link), including a misplaced doctype,<base> tag and <html> tag This probably shouldn't cause any actual errors in use, but still: we should make sure our own pages are correct before criticising others!
I agree. Here is the url for the validated page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.netscape.com%2Fplugins%2Fjvm.html%3Fmimetype%3Dapplication%2Fx-java-vm&doctype=Inline Changing the url to point to the page in question and not validator output.
