TOTAL VALIDATOR PROVIDES TRUE HTML VALIDATION
Total Validator version 5.0 is a Firefox extension which provides the following main features:
- A parser that validates the basic construction of your pages;
- True HTML validation against the W3C Markup Specifications or ISO/IEC definition using the published DTDs (2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.01, ISO/IEC, XHTML 1.0 and 1.1):
- An accessibility validator that validates against the W3C WAI Accessibility Guidelines and US Section 508 Standard:
- A broken links validator that checks each page for broken links:
- A spelling validator that spell checks the content of your pages (English, French, Italian, Spanish):
- Snapshots (screenshots) of your pages in different browsers, on different platforms, at different resolutions;
- A desktop tool so you can validate pages before you publish, and pages behind firewalls;
- A Firefox extension for fast, one click validation;
This release provides many more validation tests to prepare the way for HTML5 support later this year, and the accessibility validation engine is improved to support WCAG2 validation later this year. It is advantageous over the W3C Validator as it provides type checking and over the tool HTML Tidy because it uses the official DTDs and does interpret the World Wide Web Consortium standards correctly. With Total Validator, web designers no longer have to put up with the limitations of the W3C Validator (no type checking) and tools like HTML Tidy which interpret the standards incorrectly (they don’t use the official DTDs).
