Website Validation
In class this week Mr Osborne introduced us to a web validator http://validator.w3.org/, validating your website is a very important in the process of building website. The website may look functional but behind the scenes their could be a lot of errors in your code which can affect the functionality of your website.
A validator is a software program that can check your web pages against the web standards. When using a validator to check HTML, XHTML or CSS documents, the validator returns a list of errors found, according to your chosen standard.Make sure you make it a habit to validate all your web pages before publishing
Not all validators check for the same things. Some only check CSS, others XHTML, and others for accessibility. If you are sincere in presenting standardized pages to the public, test them with several validators. The World Wide Web Consortium sets the standards and also hosts a variety of web page validators.

The Website Validator that we use to validate our webpage is The W3C Markup Validation Service, which validates the page and then shows us in which line of code of the html file is either incorrectly spelt, misused atrribute, etc.
