W3C compliance and javascript

[Rick Merrill]

Is there a web site that checks a page's
compliance with Javascript standards?

Or better yet, helps debug it?!

One of options could be JSLint:

The only javascript standard is ECMA 262 (or the ISO versions of the same)
(note that the W3C has nothing to do with the javascript language
standards). The only way in which javascript source code can fail to comply
with the standard is to contain syntax errors. And script code that contains
syntax errors will cause many common web browsers to report those syntax
errors (in one way or another) and not even attempt to execute the script.

Reports of syntax errors are helpful for debugging (as they will have to be
fixed prior to anything else either working or not working).
