</dl></li></ol>The <a href="http://validator.nu">http://validator.nu</a> gives only one completely unrelated error for this relevant url, so I updated our instance, but ours STILL gives the above errors. I'm a bit confused why this should be the case.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The advice used to be to start the instance as follows:<br><br>python build/build.py --w3cbranding all & ... in order for the servlet to "update itself" but I see the --w3cbranding option is no longer valid these days. <br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Assuming the problem is that we're not starting the instance with the right flags [?], can anyone suggest the right flags to guarantee the "SelfUpdate()" ? <br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
In fact I just started it in the simplest way possible as far as I know:<br><br>python build/build.py all & (this should make the servlet update itself also, according to what can be seen in build.py) <br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
- but the resulting o/p for a particular url is the same - different from the <a href="http://validator.nu">validator.nu</a> instance - showing the same 7 errors above.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">It has to be something obvious I'm missing here. Can anyone see what it is?<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks for your comments!<br><br>Andrei<br></div></div>
