Although they do have a point, you need to be careful with the security side of things - having one's site and / or server compromised is never fun, and all too easy to allow. Erayd (23)

The one fixed for me by Hueybot3000 a few weeks ago "Passed, 2 warning(s)" and "This document was successfully checked as HTML 4.01 Strict!"

Impressive!

829781 2009-11-14 01:54:00 Whether a site validates or not is irrelevent. Also the standards are always changing, so one that validates one day, may not validate the next. Whether a site validates also does not affect search engine rankings, although I have heard some of tehse SEO companies claim that a site needs to validate to get a good ranking. robbyp (2751)
