On the server side (PHP) I have successfully used HTML SAX Parser
class by Alexey G. Piyanin to check for "well formed" XHTML input:
http://www.phpclasses.org/package/2140-PHP-Parse-HTML-documents-using-regular-expressions.html
or
http://www.zend.com//code/codex.php?ozid=1465&single=1
it has worked really well for my needs and surely the same can be done
client-side, if ever needed :)
