validating a DTD online

I am going nuts trying to find a DTD validation service online...
is there any site which offers validation of DTDs online
and which does the validation in an authoritative manner?

thanks

The following services can be used for validating XML documents as well,
although they were set up primarily for validating HTML:
http://validator.w3.org/
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/
is there any site which offers validation of DTDs online
and which does the validation in an authoritative manner?


What do you mean by an authoritative manner? I don't see why you would need
authorities for this, any more than for checking that 2 + 2 = 4.

Try http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/xml-check.html

But why not just get a validating parser and do it locally?

In addition to the links provided by Jukka, you may find this one to be
of interest...

<http://valet.webthing. com/>

Please note that there is nothing special about a DTD versus a document
instance when it comes to the validation process.

Just send your DTD to the validator, if need be tack a NUL doc instance
to the end of it. The validator will tell you if you have an error in
the external declaration subset (DTD) just as well as it will tell you
about errors in your doc instance.

[chop]

Note that when using Valet, you would need to use one of the Code Valet
tools to validate a DTD. The "standard" Page Valet validator will
suppress errors arising in a DTD, to avoid confusing the majority users.

Given that the W3C HTML 4.0 DTD (note, that's not the current 4.01)
gives rise to several messages when validating, this seems like a
necessary compromise.

I am experiencing some strange behavior between a UserControl's validating event and a treeview control.

I took the sample from that article and recreated the situation I see in my application. (Code included below.) If you run the...

I have a windows form that I want to force validation on controls (text boxes) when the user clicks a "Save" button. The only way I've found to do this is to cycle through every control and call it's .Select() method. This is clunky though because you can see a flash in each text box as it's being validated. Here's my code Private Sub Save() For each c as control in Me.Controls If c.CanSelect() then c.Select()
