Introduction

HTMLValidator is a tool that allows you to verify that your webpages meet W3C html and xhtml standards. Because HTMLValidator uses the same validation technique as the official validator you can be assured the the pages you create work correctly.

HTMLValidator works without access to the web. This means that you don't need an active internet connection to validate pages and nothing is sent over the internet during validation. Your pages remain secure and you don't need to open your firewall to validate your intranet.

System Requirements

• Mac OS X 10.4 or later
• Universal Binary for Intel or PowerPC Mac

Installation

Drag the HTMLValidator icon to the Applications folder (or any other location on your machine)

To uninstall drag the HTMLValidator icon to the trash.

Usage

With a web page url

Open HTMLValidator, enter the url in the box and click go.

The results of the validation will appear in the window

With a file

Drag the file you want to validate to the HTMLValidator window, then click go

With Applescript

HTMLValidator provides an Applescript dictionary for basic validation. You can use Script Editor or another similar editor to view the available commands
