Subject: using ruby to validate web pages

Hi, just wondering if anybody can tell me what's wrong with this code:


# the Watir gem
require 'rubygems'

# the Watir controller
require 'watir'

# set variables
validator = "http://validator.w3.org/"
url1 = "http://www.google.com"
url2 = "http://pingmag.jp/2008/01/17/chimpom/"
url3 = "http://www.google.com/"

# open the IE browser
ie = Watir::IE.new

puts "Beginning validation"

ie.goto validator

ie.text_field(:id, "uri").set(url1)

puts "Checking URL #1....."

ie.button(:value, "Check").click

if ie.text.include? "This Page Is Valid"
    puts "URL#1 validates!"
    else
        "URL#1 does not validate!"

        end

ie.goto validator

ie.text_field(:id, "uri").set(url2)

puts "Checking URL #2....."

ie.button(:value, "Check").click

if ie.text.include? "This Page Is Valid"
    puts "URL#2 validates!"
    else
        "URL #2 does not validate!"

    end

ie.goto validator

ie.text_field(:id, "uri").set(url3)

puts "Checking URL #3....."

ie.button(:value, "Check").click

if ie.text.include? "This Page Is Valid"
    puts "URL#3 validates!"
    else
        "URL #3 does not validate!"

end

    puts "End of validation"


I get results for URL's #2 and #3, only the 'Checking URL....' and 'End
of validation' messages.
