Support for IE7 and FF2 will be added to the Firefox extension and desktop tool by the end of this month.

Validator Engine 3.6.0 Released

Haven't a clue what HTML standard your pages conform to (2.0, 3.2, 4.01, XHTML ...)?

Total Validator 3.6 now provides a best-fit option which works out which HTML standard will produce the least errors when tested against.

The auto-detect option now falls-back to best-fit mode if no tag is found (W3C simply guesses that it's 4.01 even if your document is XHTML!).

In addition the validation report has been updated to give you a break down of each type of problem (HTML, Accessibility etc) with totals for each area and for each problem together with additional navigation to get you quickly to what you need to see.

Other improvements include Byte Order Mark (BOM) detection, and shorter timeouts when checking links, for faster validation.
