If I check the links on

http://www.g8wrb.org/mathematica/
(php source at http://www.g8wrb.org/mathematica/index.phps )

by using the validator at http://validator.w3.org/

http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.g8wrb.org%2Fmathematica%2F&hide_type=all&recursive=on&depth=2&cookie=set&check=Check

I get an error several errors about 'broken fragments' when I link to 
Google Groups - see below. Yet if I go to 
http://www.g8wrb.org/mathematica/ the links too Google Groups work fine.

Any idea what the problem is? How should I best fix it?

This probably isn't a link to a directory in a series of directories as
you might expect but rather a way of passing a number of variables to a
database query.

Does replacing the '?'  with a  '/' at the end help (doesn't seem to
affect the link)?

Usually a fragment is the part of a URL after a "#" sign which matches an 
anchor of the form <a name="xyz"> in the document.

I suspect in this case Google Groups generates a fragment name that's 
different every time you visit the group page, so storing it and using it 
later simply won't work.

Either that or I've totally missed the point. I didn't look too hard.

So are those links in my php code valid as strict HTML?

I'm not reguarding it as god, but if there is an issue, I would like to 
know how to resolve it. The links work fine on my computers (one a Sun 
SPARC running Solaris 10 with Firfox and the other a laptop running 
Solaris and Firefox). I've not checked with any other browsers I must 
admit.

If the links work fine - then is there actually a issue ? .

Not yourself , But most people who do the web authoring thingy are brain 
dead in terms of if you ask for a site critique - they dont actually 
look at website or access the good or bad web design layouts - they just 
run it through the validator .

If they worked fine in every browser then no. But I would have more 
chance in them working in all browsers if they are valid HTML.

Although a lot of sites that dont work well don't validate anyway.

You have links to
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math.symbolic/browse_thread/thread/3614dc0ccab52f29/4d2ac9cf438f5da2?hl=en&lnk=st&q=Mathematica犛뺺욠篫⢕ꫢ#4d2ac9cf438f5da2

but the page
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math.symbolic/browse_thread/thread/3614dc0ccab52f29/4d2ac9cf438f5da2?hl=en&lnk=st&q=Mathematica犛뺺욠篫⢕ꫢ
has no <foo id="4d2ac9cf438f5da2"> or <a name="4d2ac9cf438f5da2">
anywhere in its source code.

Hence the fragment is broken. Delete the #4d2ac9cf438f5da2 from the
end of the link and it will work just the same and keep the W3's link
checker happy.

Cheers Steve. That saves a few bytes in the HTTP request too!
