Description David Anderson 2006-03-13 15:20:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

This Firefox extension is very nice:

http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/

It displays a small icon in the status bar to tell you whether or not the page had valid HTML. On hovering, you get more detail. On viewing source, you get tips and details.

This would be a useful extension to Konqueror for me and many others who develop web pages. At the moment you can validate in Konqueror by a manual process which redirects you to the w3 online validator, but this is rather long-winded if you make a lot of minor tweaks and just want to know if you broke something or not.

SVN commit 903013 by pino:

When the current frame can be validated, show a status bar icon with the
validation controls.
When LibTidy is used, integrate the embedded validator and propose an internal
validation of the currently shown document (ie NOT using the online W3
validator, nor any other configured validator). After the check, the status bar
icon is changed into a errors+warnings count. Also add a very simple (at the
moment) view of errors and warnings found.
The look is not the best yet, but it's a start.

Thanks Pino :)
Do you think that it will be hard to use both tidy and opensp ( http://openjade.sourceforge.net/ ) ? The last one is also the same used by the w3 validator

LibTidy is what I'm using for the embedded checker, yes.

SVN commit 903609 by pino:

Add an option to automatically run the internal tidy validator after a wepage has been loaded correctly.
