Hi Val,

A client of mine reported having the same problem after an upgrade.

Looking around in several forums, I came upon this thread. Perhaps messages,
4 and 6
will help clarify the problem.

Hello!

I am trying to validate an XHTML 1.0 document on the W3C Markup Validation
Service.  I want to use the "File Upload Interface".  When I try to do this
I receive the following error message:

"Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its content type is
text/plain, which is not currently supported by this service."
"The Content-Type field is sent by your web server (or web browser if you
use the file upload interface) and depends on its configuration."

My question is:  How do I cause my web browser, which is Internet Explorer
6.0, to send text/html instead of text/plain as the content type for my
document?

Here is the beginning of my XHTML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
  <title>The Company Name Here - Dog Obedience and Agility Training</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
</head>

Thank You in Advance,
Val
