Is anyone interested in a farcry extension for validating your site against a standard? XHTML 1.0 Transitional, HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.1 as examples.
I made one, if anyone is interested in it. It uses the W3C Markup Validator at http://validator.w3.org. You can get the validation results for one of my department's sites here: http://uteach.utexas.edu/go/uteachweb/HtmlValidator/UTeach-Website-Validator (Pardon the mess, that site isn't very XHTML compliant at the moment...but that will be fixed!) I currently have it set to validate all dmHtml, dmNews, and spInternship objects (that last one is a custom type we made for this site). That gives the raw xml results of my extension. For a human-readable version, append ?output=html to the url. For an RSS feed, append ?output=rss to the url. I think the RSS feed is especially cool. I can set up the validation as a scheduled task and subscribe to the RSS feed of the validation results. Then pages that show up in the feed are failing validation. I tried to build this gadget so that it is not too difficult to extend to support additional validation tools like accessibility, as I will need to check that once I'm finished XHTML-izing this site. :) -Tyler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
