CSE HTML Validator for Website Validation

30 August, 2009 (23:12) | Cool stuff, Software

Welcome to my brand new “cool stuff” section of this blog where I will write about, yes you guessed it, cool stuff made by other people. It may be hardware, software, books, who knows, but today I am going to start out with a program that will be a perfect fit for existing users of my website webmaster tools: CSE HTML Validator.

Already back in late nineties this was the best website validation tool to use when checking websites for errors. Now, much later, it still continues to improve, year after year, surpassing all other tools of its kind. People using alternatives such as the W3C HTML and CSS online validators owe it to themselves to try this combined HTML/CSS and accessibility validator.

Are you only working on personal or educational websites? Then you may be interested in their free html validator. While not offering nearly as many functions as the standard and professional versions, it will still complement W3C validators and give more tips and warnings about website issues.

Note: While our general purpose website analysis tool supports HTML and CSS validation using W3C online validators, this process is slow and does not cover the same amount of areas CSE HTML Validator does. However, CSE HTML Validator comes with an API which means we will investigate if we in a future version of our software can integrate with this validation engine as well!
