The tool checks style tags to see if they are just @import. Since I was already doing that, it was easy to treat the imported URL as if it was a link and validate the details.

But, my regex missed the optional whitespace inside the parens (which you have). Fixed in my development version.

Of course it strips the HTML in the previous comment. It’s complaining about a style tag.

If you run it on antipode.ca, it complains that I have a with an invalid link. The problem is, it’s an inline style (@import, to be exact) so there is no link to speak of.

This is pretty damn cool, although it’s kinda annoying when you have the same warning a million times. Maybe you should group the warning by warning type? Something like ‘Warning X: 15 times’, ‘Warning Y: 4 times’, and show you where?

This also got me to think about a few things I didn’t before..

This would be a pretty interesting assignment topic for 165… just saying

Not sure if it’s already there, but here is my list:
- b/i/u (…and blink?!) tags
- strong tag followed by a br, or a strong in its own p or div tag (should be using headers?)
- div tag warping just text (should be using paragraphs?)

Maybe I’ll have the time to actually test it tomorrow.
