Subject: Bookmarklet for validator
Hello,
I've written a bookmarklet, i. e. a little Java Script program that can be
saved in the bookmarks, e. g. in the "Personal Toolbar Folder". When you
start this bookmark, the current page is validated the W3C validator without
having to enter the URL/URI. This works only with files on servers, not with
locally stored files (file:///...).
The code is (very simple):
javascript:window.open("http://validator.w3.org/check/referer?"+document.location.href);self.load(location.href);
The last command is just for preventing the browser to display just [object
window] in the originating window.
The bookmarklet works on Netscape 4.7, Mozilla 0.9, Opera 5.0 (at least on
Linux)
You can publish it on the W3C pages if you like as it makes checking pages
easier when they don't have the validator check link on the page (that
doesn't always fit into the layout).
