Validate your website
topIntroduction
Total Validator is a free one-stop all-in-one validator comprising a HTML validator, an accessibility validator, a spelling validator, a broken links validator, and the ability to take screenshots with different browsers to see what your web pages really look like. Currently Total Validator provides the following main features:
- A parser that validates the basic construction of your pages
- True HTML validation against the W3C Markup Specifications or ISO/IEC definition using the published DTDs (2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.01, ISO/IEC, XHTML 1.0 and 1.1)
- An accessibility validator that validates against the W3C WAI Accessibility Guidelines and US Section 508 Standard
- A broken links validator that checks each page for broken links
- A spelling validator that spell checks the content of your pages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, German)
- Snapshots (screenshots) of your pages in different browsers, on different platforms, at different resolutions
- A desktop tool so you can validate pages before you publish, and pages behind firewalls
- A Firefox extension for fast, one click validation

April 15th 2008 - Total Validator v5.2.0 released. Safari 3.1 for Windows screenshots added and Firefox 1.5, Firefox 1.0, and Mozilla 1.7 for Linux screenshots are back again. Also Firefox 3.0, Safari 2.0 and Firefox 1.5 for OSX screenshots added. 'Show on success' option promoted to all tools and the online service, and extended to allow the page layout to be viewed even when no problems found.

March 21st 2008 - Total Validator v5.1.0 released. Firefox 3 for Windows+Linux and Opera 9 for Linux screenshots are now available, but Firefox 1.0 (Linux), Firefox 1.5 (Linux) and Mozilla 1.7 (Linux) have been discontinued. German spellchecking has been added to both the Desktop Tool and the Firefox Extension. The Extension also now supports seven more locales, thanks to Babelzilla.
January 27th 2008 - Total Validator v5.0.0 released. This major release sees the launch of the Advanced Desktop Tool allowing all users to validate more than one page locally. The basic parsing and html validation engines have been reworked, providing many more validations than ever before in preparation for HTML5 support later this year. The accessibility validation engine has also been refactored ready to support WCAG2 validation later this year.
December 9th 2007 - In order to provide a fair and equitable service in the light of the huge demand for the online service a daily usage cap has been introduced. Thus users are now limited to a maximum of 15 validation/screenshot requests within any given 24 hour period. Of course you may wish to consider downloading the Desktop Tool instead, so you can run validations locally. This provides most of the online validation options and integrates with a Firefox extension to provide the simplest way to validate pages.
December 4th 2007 - Firefox Extension updated to v4.5.0. The main change is added support for the Basic desktop tool (v4.4.5 or above only). If the Basic tool is also installed, then with just one click you can now validate pages on your local disk, or intranet pages inaccessible to the online validation service.
October 10th 2007 - Validator, Tool and Extension all updated to v4.4.0. The emphasis with this release is on better checking of http headers and their associated meta tags. In particular: content-type, content-script-type and content-style-type. There are also two new options to allow query parameters and jsessionid's to be removed from links before testing or following. These will help to prevent loops when testing sites that dynamically create links.
