Re: Header Tag and Bobby

Alastair --

Earlier versions of Bobby, including the first release of Bobby
WorldWide, incorrectly reported an error when one skipped a heading
level when going from a lower level to a higher level, such as H4 to H2.
This was fixed I believe in the Bobby World Wide 4.01 update from
WatchFire. There is a new Windows version of Bobby, version 5.0. I
haven't checked this thoroughly yet, but I have found a couple of
bugs related to this new version in one Priority 2 and one Priority 3
test under some circumstances. I did not encounter the header problem
with this new version on pages that failed under Bobby 3.2 and 4.00, but
passed with version 4.01. The software should only report an error if
you skip one or more heading levels in descending order, e.g., H1 to H3,
or if you start a page with a lower level heading, say, H2.
