Double validating your website...

    This is for SE Basic,

    For all those who have worked extremely hard to get their website to validate using W3C's validation tool for html, I am here to add some more validation mayhem to your day. If you download FireFox and do a right click->view page source, you will see in the bottom left a little 'html errors and warnings' window. Very interesting what W3C validates and this tool does not.

    Anyways, I have been able to use the tool and between the two, you can write some of the cleanest code ever written ;)

    Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

    I just checked both of the sites in my signature and I do not see the "window" you are talking about.

    Is this a good thing?:)

    Strange Resale,

    I get the following Line 92 Column 165 An Unescaped & which should be written as &amp:

    and it is a warning not an error.

    You may have to download the extension. Can remember if I did or not. A yes, it is an extension called Tidy HTML Validator and is here: http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=249&vid=

    After hearing several people here at DP talk about firefox, I have now finally downloaded it and I am impressed. I also found lots of HTML in my docs that doesn't validate (some of it I already knew about) and I have fixed some of the more blatantly wrong things. Now my site looks great in firefox! Thanks guys.
