Seeking whole site HTML validator (plus extras)

There are many good HTML validators, not least, of course being
w3c's. However, they only handle one page at a time.

Is there a free web based served, or pc program, which will crawl my
site validating the HTML?

Bonus features like CSS validation, link checking, spell checking, etc
are welcome of course, but most important for me at the moment is HTML
validation.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not "all in one" but http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/ has among other
tools, a HTML validator that can validate the entire site.

Thanks. I think that I will have to go with that. It doesn't do the
whole site, crawling from the frontpage. it has a batch mode whcih will
hadle a bunch of URLs, but I can qiuckly use my sitemap to make such a
list.

Thanks for the tip.

Did you checked the "Validate entire site" checkbox? That validated
the whole site I tested.

Just a side note. It will only check up to 100 pages. Mine is
larger and it quit at the max. However, I didn't know about the
"whole" site validation and it is nice to know. Thanks for the
info.

If you don't mind paying $25 for the software, check out aRealValidator. com.

Go with what?

The WDG validator (http://www.htmlhelp.com/) will. If you have more then 100
pages, download and install a local copy and turn the limiter off.

Ooops!!! thanks. I guess that I saw a aingle URL input box, then saw
the URL for batch mode & did not read as far as that checkbox for
entire site.

This is perfect.

Looks good. I will double check teh feature list, though, to be sure
that I actually gain something over the freely available tools.

I am seeking some kind of tool that I can use for GUI prototyping. I know how to use Visual Basic, but since a lot of software is being coded in Java or C++, I'd like to learn a Java or C++ -based tool. Back when I took my Java and C++ classes (two or three years ago), the available tools -- at least the ones I could find -- were still not as easy, not as "drag-and-drop", as Visual Basic. Has that changed? Is there some software out...

As you might have noticed I'm trying to clean up my web site's HTML code. The way I do it is simply more or less redoing to complete site, testing it on a web server I have set up on my local network. I have downloaded, and installed CSE HTML Validator Pro, but I don't get the same results with that as I do with the online validator on W3.org. And I can't upload files to W3.org either, due to all the ASP code I use.

On this page of my website: http://www.zen62775.zen.co.uk/rigs.html the W3C html validator claims that there are some bytes it cannot interpret in line 49 of the html source as UTF-8. If I force ISO-8859-1 encoding, however, the page will validate correctly but displays a warning about the & character on the same line, saying that & is the "first character of a delimiter but occurred as data". Is there any way to remedy this problem/issue?...

Hi, I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France). I just installed a local W3C validator on my machine (Slackware 10.1, local Apache server). It's accessible as http://w3c-validator, because I'm on dialup and I want to check pages offline. Unfortunately, URL upload won't work, because the validator doesn't accept any URL's beginning with http://localhost.

Why does IE not show the full html source when I try to view the source?? I mean why does it hide a few features. Previously I had an issue where the data grid html representation was hidden in the source view. After spending a LOT of time troubleshooting this, it was due to the smart navigation setting. Now I can't see the html for the validators error messages. It's getting pretty irritating to work around IE's quirks and its non...
