    Validating a password protected site?

    What recommendations do you have about how to validate web pages that
    are password protected, short of saving the page, uploading it to a
    public server, and then running it through a validator?

    Just curious what people's experiences have been.

    Thanks, - Dave

    The W3c validator has the facility to upload a file from your hard disk.
    W3C's easy-to-use markup validation service, based on SGML and XML parsers.

      Where's the problem? Page Valet's advanced form lets you enter a
      username/password. W3C's validator will prompt you if presented
      with a password-protected page. Either of the above or WDG will
      let you validate by file upload.

        In addition to the other suggestions...

        With Opera, you can use Ctrl-Alt-V to validate the current page with the
        W3C's online validator. It uses the file-upload mechanism of the validator,
        uploading the version of the document in its cache. So use Opera to
        navigate to the page you want to validate, and hit Ctrl-Alt-V.

        Note that Opera doesn't send the character encoding, so you need to include
        it in a META tag to appease the validator.
