You may be misunderstanding the term validator. What you describe is not a validator, but a checking program. Many of those exist, ranging from those based on smart and comprehensive markup parsing (such as Tidy and AccessValet, to name two products Bjoern and I respectively are involved with) through to ten-minute Perl hacks. > I'm looking for > "validators that show which browsers don't work with a given page", not That's a contradiction in terms. Only a browser can show whether it will work with a given page. And even that isn't strictly true, as system and browser settings are involved: a page may work well with an author's preferred settings but collapse completely when a user with poor vision or a higher-DPI monitor increases the text size. There are checkers that purport to do what you ask, but I couldn't recommend any of them. Any such tool that doesn't feature lots of warnings is snake-oil. -- Nick KewReceived on Sunday, 6 April 2003 21:00:37 UTC
