is BrowserCaps.config loaded/used by Umbraco?
Hi,

Am trying to stop .net rendering downlevel markup to the w3c validator service by adding the following to my BrowserCaps.config
```
<case match="W3C_Validator*">
    TagWriter = System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter
    W3CDomVersion = 1.0
</case>
```
But it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Does anyone know if this should work?

Anyone?

I found this http://umbraco.org/blog/2007/12/4/dec-4-how-to-get-the-w3c-validator-to-recognize-your-pages

but not sure if it still holds.

I found my own solution

Assuming asp.net 2.0

Add an App_Browsers folder to your web root. In that folder place a file called w3cvalidator.browser with the following contents:

<browsers>

<browser id="w3cValidator" parentID="default">
    <identification>
      <userAgent match="^W3C_Validator" />
    </identification>

    <capture>
      <userAgent match="^W3C_Validator/(?'version'(?'major'\d+)(?'minor'\.\d+)\w*).*" />
    </capture>

    <capabilities>
      <capability name="browser" value="w3cValidator" />
      <capability name="majorversion" value="${major}" />
      <capability name="minorversion" value="${minor}" />
      <capability name="version" value="${version}" />
      <capability name="w3cdomversion" value="1.0" />
      <capability name="xml" value="true" />
      <capability name="tagWriter" value="System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter" />
    </capabilities>
</browser>
</browsers>
