Server-side Includes and Weblint Errors - Darryl McBroom discussed how our current include trailer for the FortNet return at the bottom of Information Provider home pages with the </BODY> and </HTML> included produces weblint errors.

Charles mentioned that when you receive these errors, you can specify the URL vs. the file pathname, run weblint again and the errors due to server-side includes won't show because the server has already "included" them. If errors generated by weblint are invalid, send the error to Charles (clarke@fortnet.org), point to the valid spec and Charles will update weblint.

Darryl will work with Charles Clarke to redesign an additional server-side include tag that will facilitate frames better and allow the web designer the option of using either one.
