Applications and Services

DevEdge Web Tune-Up Wizard

This interface to W3C services guides beginning-to-intermediate web authors through the process of updating content to support Netscape 7.x, Mozilla and other browsers that support W3C Standards.

W3C HTML Validator

The W3C HTML Validator will validate any Web page according to the W3C HTML standards. It is very useful for detecting the use of proprietary HTML as well as invalid HTML.

W3C CSS Validator

The W3C CSS Validator will validate the CSS within any web page or external CSS files according to the W3C CSS standards.

W3C RDF Validator

The RDF Validator service will validate the RDF/XML contained on a given URI.

Link Checker

This tool will check links on a given web page.

HTML Tidy

HTML Tidy is a tool that can be used to report errors in an HTML page and to format web pages for better reading. (Some authoring software, such as HTML-Kit, builds in HTML Tidy which makes validation quick and easy.)

HTML Validator Pro

This is an automated HTML5 checker using the same validator as the W3C. Provide a starting URL and the tool will find and validate all pages in a website.

Accessibility Services

Lynx Viewer

Checks a web page using Lynx visualization and allows validation of accessibility features
