Hi All,

Very cool, has anyone used it yet? Looks great for dynamic sites...

Thanks for the heads up....

Downloaded and tested some of my sites. It immediately made me sad since it
found so many "errors." But then I realized it (FireEyes) was overreaching
and making some errors of its own (e.g., it listed that there was no DOCTYPE
when in fact there was).

Just goes to prove that there is no perfect automatic validation program
(dare I say yet).

John,

If you post the issue in the FireEyes bug submission form with details
of the web site, perhaps we can fix it.

Yes, I have used FireEyes briefly, and it really is great. And Deque is looking for feedback, so play with it and let them know of any bugs you find or enhancements you would like.

If you are in the Washington, DC, area, Deque's Karl Groves will demonstrate FireEyes tomorrow evening at the Accessibility DC meetup:

6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30
Room 215
MLK Library
901 G Street NW
Washington DC 20001-4531

Sign up at EventBrite: http://bit.ly/9InDfi

And tell John I sent ya.
