Introduction
Total Validator allows you to perform many different validations on your web pages in one go, rather than using several tools to achieve the same thing:
- The best HTML validation against the W3C Specifications
- Accessibility validation against the WCAG (1.0 and 2.0) and US Section 508 standard
- CSS validation against the W3C Standards (Pro tool only)
- Checks each page for broken links. But note that we ignore any links in javascript.
- Spell checks the content of your pages: English (American and British), French, Italian, Spanish, and German
topUsing the tool
Simply enter in a URL for the Starting Page, or select a local web page using the Browse button. Choose which validations you wish to perform from the options available. Then hit the Validate button to start
During the validation process you can use the Cancel button to stop at any time. Note that this may sometimes take a short while to respond when validating remote broken links.
At the end of the process your default or selected browser should be launched displaying the results of the validation.
Checking for updates
An option to check for updates to the tool may be found in the Options menu. If there is a newer version available then your default or selected browser will open a page with instructions on how to download and install it.
