Hi All,

I'm trying to create a new command to submit current file to W3C

html validator. This one does not work : open http://validator.w3.org/check/%24TM_FILEPATH

Of cours I could install the validator directly in MacOS X as

http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/validator.html but the first way seemed easier.

Any idea?

I don't think you can do this. The W3's validator either needs a publicly available URL, or it needs a file to be uploaded. The file upload is done over POST (not GET, which is the URL), so for TM to send a file to the validator over POST, it would need to pretend to be a user uploading a file with a POST form...

I know TM can't do this, but perhaps it can interact with a library that can, but it certainly won't be easy at all.
