Is there something that I could download that would say...let me paste my files in one by one, and point out the flaws in the code, so that I could correct them? I am not a code person at all, and I know I have sites and blogs with errors. I am sure there has to be something that will do this, so that I can validate my sites. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
Yes, Mozilla Firefox webmaster toolbar addon, it will validate your css, you can paste in one line at a time if you prefer...and then just hit the validate css and it will give you all the errors if any and you can fix them one by one, then revalidate your code to make sure you fixed it, you can also edit your css right from the browser and view the changes as you make them, very handy little tool!
Of course using the W3C validation is a good idea as far as pointing out errors is concerned. Problem for people like me is how to get those errors removed? They are showing 56 errors and 38 warnings for my site. And I think it is due to those errors that my site is being displayed incorrectly in all browsers except Firefox. Like hmansfield, I am not much of a code person.I am also looking for a way or a tool which would help me correct the errors in my code. Otherwise,I fear doing it all manually would lead me to a greater trouble caused by improper tweaking of the code. Any help?
The WDG (Web Design Group) Markup Validator is as reliable as the W3C Validator and provides for validating pages of an entire site (batch processing). JFP
Although it is presently only alpha, the W3C Unicorn Validator is worth a look -- it provides simultaneous Markup/CSS validation for a URI entry. You might also want to participate in their feedback project. JFP
