Revalidation Link
You can quickly and easily revalidate any of your web pages at any time by adding the following link to the bottom of your pages:
<a href="http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/Revalidate?revalidate=true">Revalidate this page</a>
Alternatively enhance this with an official logo:<a href="http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/Revalidate?revalidate=true"> <img src="http://www.totalvalidator.com/images/valid_n_xhtml_10.gif" alt="Totally Valid XHTML 1.0" /> </a>
When you click on this link it will submit your page for validation and then return the results in the usual way.
By default the validator will check the page for broken links, and validate the HTML using the 'Auto-detect' option. Of course you may wish to use different options for checking the page, as described below.
topAdding options
You can alter or add to the standard revalidation options by extending the link shown above in the following manner:
<a href="http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/Revalidate?revalidate=true &OptionName=OptionValue">
The actual options available are shown in the next section. But here's an example showing how to add WAI AA validation, and a British spell check:
<a href="http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/Revalidate?revalidate=true &wai=AA&spellcheck=GB">
