ASP/ASPX W3C validation URL

OldCoder · April 3rd, 2006, 08:29 PM

Hi Team,

I've spent the better part of the afternoon finding a DOCTYPE that would allow me to get a clean validation. The following combination worked.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

I've been using

http://www.w3schools.com/site/site_validate.asp

The only problem is that I have to FTP my files to the host so I can give a url to the validator. Is there a site that will upload an ASP/ASPX file and validate it like http://validator.w3.org/ does for HTML and CSS files? This would save me a lot of time.

Thanks

Hi there,

Take a look at the Internet Explorer Dev toolbar (search Google for IE dev toolbar). That toolbar has a very convenient "Validate Local HTML" option. Whenever you invoke that command, the toolbar will submit the HTML currently being displayed in the browser to the validation service. This is a great way to validate HTML you have in a localhost or other local network browser session.

Note that you don't need to validate the ASPX; all you need to validate is the resulting HTML.

Hope this helps,

Imar
