TavoxPeru 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) The Total Validator desktop tool is an easy to use desktop version of the online Total Validator service, which allows you to perform five different validations on your web pages in one go, rather than using several tools to achieve the same thing. To use it, you simply enter in a URL for the Starting Page or select a local web page using the Browse button, next choose which validations you wish to perform from the options available, and then hit the Validate button to start the validation process, if you want you can use the Cancel button to stop the validation process at any time, but, note that this may sometimes take a short while to respond when validating remote broken links. At the end of the process your default browser should be launched displaying the results of the validation. The five validations available are: True HTML validation against the W3C Markup Specifications or ISO/IEC definition using the published DTDs (2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.01, ISO/IEC, XHTML 1.0 and 1.1).Accessibility validation against the W3C WAI Accessibility Guidelines and US Section 508 StandardA spell checker that checks the content of your pages against American, British, French, Italian, German or Spanish dictionaries.A broken links validator that checks for broken hypertext links.Screenshots in 32 different browsers on Windows, Linux and OS/X (Pro tool only)This tool comes in four diferent versions: Basic desktop tool : Can validate local pages, intranets, or other hidden pages, fast response and local results, may be launched from the Firefox extension for one click validation, allow to select which browser identification to use when checking websites.
