Some observations:
Why does anyone keep the iCab validator on, unless you want it to
check out
your own pages? It's just going to frown at *everything* -- since
web designers
still feel they have to (& in most cases have to by reason of their
employers'
insistence) work around Explorer gaps in web standards support.
I use the green/orange/purple face facility for checking my own
creations, for checking others' too. I am not (perhaps surprisingly
<grin>) the only one to create websites that actually conform to
standards. So, it does not always frown. Plus there are levels of its
displeasure, it is a great resource. And it is not true to blame IE
workarounds for the all the frownings. It is perfectly possible to
create pages that adhere to standards that display well in all
browsers. The overwhelming majority of errors on the web have nothing
to do with IE or consciousness of IE.
It is the most brilliant feature and one of the two reasons I fire
iCab up (the other reason is the easy way to set your favorite text
editor to show the source). Simple but amazingly useful as a quick
check. I know Firefox has extensions for web development but iCab has
the little face, that is the clever indicator.
Now and then, extraordinarily simple but clever things are thought
up. iCab is on my pedastel on this one.
