Mark, Wow, a question I actually know something about!
Look at these: WAVE http://wave.webaim.org/ Cynthia http://www.contentquality.com/ Bobby (now incorporated into Rational software) http://www.cast.org/products/Bobby/index.html Bobby was a good one, (although Google searches show articles casting aspersions on it...). But it was bought and is no longer free. I can try and find out info about some other validators. 1) Are you looking for a no-cost option? 2) It looks like you want something that you can link your code to? A quick look at the WAVE page makes it look like you might be able to do something. I can try and look into other validators; I don't know if I'll be able to easily find out about interfaces to them.

Does HTML::Lint work as well as the W3C validator? There's some stuff in the TODO that would shoot down my arguments that it is "close enough" to what the W3C validator does. > > Are there any other validation alternatives? > > Thanks, > Matt > -- > Matt Luker > */rsh tech > your source for programming know-how > > phone: 617.418.3480 > email: [email protected] > web: http://www.rshtech.com/ > > > > _______________________________________________ > Boston-pm mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm > > _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
