With all the concern about web standards, it'd be nice if web developers had a more convenient way to validate their code.
It may be possible to code a (X)HTML and CSS validator in Javascript that one could just include in their page.
The validator would either add the "valid css" and "valid html"
logos or if the code is not valid, spit out the errors at the bottom of the page. That way, browser testing and code validation can be done at the same time.

What about just using a Firefox plugin ? |
|
| |
That solution is practical, but it isn't nearly as cross-browser compatible, future-proof, or cool as this one. |

Also, this would allow a company to make sure that their coders do a good job. Their server could tack the script on, so they can't get away with trying to hide bad code from the boss. |

1) What's this validator built in to?
2) Visual Studio does this for ASP.Net. |
|
| |
Built into the page it validates--it is Javascript. |
|
| |
as in (V8 is the working title): |
|
| |
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="script" type="text/javascript" href="/scripts/v8.js"/>
</head>
...
</html> |
|
| |
So every time the page loads, my browser has to validate it? No thanks. |
|
| |
It would be commented out on the production server. |
|
| |
Alternatively, for "valid html" logo buffs, the validator could be activated by clicking the logo, and thus prove the validity. |
