I made a web page (wheee!) and decided to test it (by upload) in the W3C
Validator http://validator.w3.org/
I had some errors, but as Bilbo said of Gandalf, "The explanation did not
explain."
In desperation I clicked randomly and ended up at the WDG Validator http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/
Their explanation were actually helpful, and wild was my rejoicing when,
after a few
iterations, I received the message
Congratulations , no errors!
I now am in love with the WDG Validator. Would there be any downside to
swearing my
fealty to it, rather than the W3C Validator?

No, it's a very good validator, with very understandable messages, you
may fall in love again with the W3C's validator in its next release,
it's getting more understandable messages in the beta too.

Speaking of validation --
Heady with victory, I took my CSS over to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
I was able to make +some+ sense out of its suggestions, and I now have a
style sheet that validates, too. *preen* Are there any other CSS validators
out there?

What is amazing in retrospect is that it took me so long to even think of
looking at other
HTML validators, because I'm so used to error messages that don't give
useful information
(yes, Bill Gates, I'm looking at *you*).

The WDG also has a CSS validator, but AFAIK it does not implement as
much of CSS as the W3C CSS validator.
BTW, both the W3C and the WDG HTML validators are based on nsgmls, an
SGML validation tool by James Clark. So they should both report the same
errors, while the messages may vary.

Not really, no. Both validators are CGI frontends to the nsgmls program;
save for a few backend differences and an entirely different CGI frontend
the results should be exactly the same.
You can read more about the differences at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/valida...fferences.html
Enjoy.

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.

I was just dropped into someone else's code (isn't that always so fun?).
I can't figure out why a custom validation control's server event function
is executing. There is nothing (that I see) in page_load, or elsewhere,
that says page.validate, no control says "causesvalidation=true", and the
AutoEventWireup is set to false. So I would think that the control's
server event function would NOT execute, but it does execute right after...

I'd like to create a program that validates bunch of urls against the
w3c markup validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and store the result in

Since I don't know network programming, I have no idea how to start
coding this program.
I was looking at the python library and thought urllib or urllib2 may
be used to make this program work.

Hi everybody,
I'd like to introduce you a new little tool I developed to
automatically check markup validation of all pages in given websites.
It uses W3C HTML Validator and CSS Validator online services in
recursive mode (without any max pages limit as other known services).
It's called Markup Validator and, of course, it's completely free.
I'd be delighted to have a feedback from you about it:
http://www.markupvalidator.com
Thanks.
