Why You Want To Validate Your Website

Why You Want To Validate Your Website

To validate your web pages means that the code
behind what you see when you visit a web site page has been
written correctly. Then your page will be in a format that
is viewable to anyone in the entire world, no matter what
browsing program they are using. And we all want our sites
to be viewable!

To see what the code behind a page looks like, using
Internet Explorer (IE), go to the web, click on View, then
click on Source or something similar in the drop down box.

I've looked at my web site statistics and viewers come to
my site with 8 different browser program. The most popular
is Internet Explorer, but there are many others, like
Opera, Foxfire, etc. Chances are very high that your site
passes the Internet Explorer viewing test because that
program is very forgiving. It takes into account and for
users of IE, it temporarily "fixes" more coding errors than
any other program available.

BUT with a just one little coding error your website may
look very strange to a viewer or even worse, someone who
visits might receive the dreaded Error Page message.

Many HTML code websites correctly or include a programs
called "tidy" to check each page for errors. Since I code
my websites by hand, the chances of me making an error are
higher than if you used a program like Dream Weaver to
create your site. So I do my best to remember to validate
my code using the free "lite" versions of software like
HTML Kit or CSE Lite both of which include a "tidy" and
"spell check" program.

However, if you don't have a validation program, you can go
directly to the source of who determines what code is the
most updated code and what code should look like in
general. It's The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) who
develops and upgrades it all. This no-cost service is
located online at http://validator.w3.org/ It's easy to
use but if you don't know how to fix the errors, it's best
left to your web master or web diva. You can also see if
any of the links on a page are broken (don't work at all),
too.

When you hire someone to update or create your next
web site, make sure that they validate each page. And if
they don't know what that means, which is a very scary
thought to me if they're proficient in web design,
send them this article!

A less detailed version of this tip will appear in a
future edition of
Electronic Retailer Magazine.
