If you are serious about your web pages, get both MSIE and Netscape on your system and view all your pages with both of them. If you are using Java or JavaScript, be sure to test all its uses with both browsers, too. Then test the pages with several of these services:
  • Web Site Garage. Enter any URL for an evaluation. In addition to an HTML check, it looks for dead links, number of links to the page from elsewhere, spelling, and load times.
    Tune Up Your Web Site Free:

  • W3C HTML Validation Service. A new service from the HTML standards organization.

  • Bobby. One of the best validators to check that your page is accessible to all.

  • HTML Validator, the same validator which is used with the excellent HomeSite HTML Editor. Also known as CSE 3310 HTML Validator.

  • lynx-me. This page shows you how a text-only Lynx browser user sees your page. This is important if you want your page to be useful to text-only users.
