Seeking whole site HTML validator (plus extras)

[Papa.Legba.666@gmail.com]

There are many good HTML validators, not least, of course being
w3c's. However, they only handle one page at a time.

Is there a free web based served, or pc program, which will crawl my
site validating the HTML?

Bonus features like CSS validation, link checking, spell checking, etc
are welcome of course, but most important for me at the moment is HTML
validation.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not "all in one" but http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/ has among other
tools, a HTML validator that can validate the entire site.

Thanks. I think that I will have to go with that. It doesn't do the
whole site, crawling from the frontpage. it has a batch mode whcih will
hadle a bunch of URLs, but I can qiuckly use my sitemap to make such a
list.

Thanks for the tip.

Did you checked the "Validate entire site" checkbox? That validated
the whole site I tested.

Just a side note. It will only check up to 100 pages. Mine is
larger and it quit at the max. However, I didn't know about the
"whole" site validation and it is nice to know. Thanks for the
info.

If you don't mind paying $25 for the software, check out aRealValidator. com.

The WDG validator (http://www.htmlhelp.com/) will. If you have more then 100
pages, download and install a local copy and turn the limiter off.

Ooops!!! thanks. I guess that I saw a aingle URL input box, then saw
the URL for batch mode & did not read as far as that checkbox for
entire site.

This is perfect.

Looks good. I will double check teh feature list, though, to be sure
that I actually gain something over the freely available tools.

Possible slight help :

CHEKLINX, via sig line 3, is a 16-bit DOS program which scans the local
master of a site checking local links.

It does not otherwise validate, and its scanning is fast and pragmatic; it
does not parse. HREF & NAME must be the first thing after <A to be
recognised.

That version is limited in the size of site it can handle (runs out of
stack); the corresponding EXE via sig line 2 is the same source compiled
for Windows 32-bit; it has not yet met a site size limit.

It checks, on a PII/300, 139 pages in 10 seconds; or four seconds for a
recheck when much is cached.

Summary: 139 files tested ; 2127 anchors seen ; 8008 relative cites seen ;
Relative citations: directories - missing 0, found 5 ;
Relative citations: filenames - missing 0, found 695 ;
Relative citations: anchors - missing 0, found 4220 ;
Local URLs 30 ; Odd A-refs 0 ; Make relatives 0 ; NotHTM 557 ;
Links over 8.3 format 0 ; Links with Upper Case 0 ; Links with "\" 0 ;
Repeated NAMEs 0 ; Unused NAMEs ? ; UnQuoted HREF/NAME/&c. 1 ;
Empty values 0 ; Far URLs 2265 ;


No guarantees.
