Trying to add some validated buttons to my website.
But when u click on it just get this.

Code:

 	    Sorry! This document can not be checked.

           No Referer header found!

                    You have requested we check the referring page, but your browser did           not send the HTTP "Referer" header field. This can be for several           reasons, but most commonly it is because your browser does not           know about this header, has been configured not to send one, or is           behind a proxy or firewall that strips it out of the request before           it reaches us.         
         This is not an error in the referring page!
                    Please use the form interface on the           Validator Home Page to check the           page by URL.

i have the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> in my header tho and my page validates when you do it directly from the validator home page.

What is it i need to do or put in to get pass that?

That would be in the document head NOT a header.

Turn off whatever is blocking your browser from passing a referrer, maybe Nortons or some other internet "security" "tool"

its ok it done that because i clicked the link on a webpage that was a local webpage i was viewing on my pc meaning i hadnt clicked it when it was uploaded to a webserver.
hence why it had no referer
