I've been a huge fan of sites running "Some Type" of validity, may it be XHTML/CSS, HTML4.x or even some of the various accessability requirements out there...

Over the last month (since I got laid off) I've had to find something to do, so I figured I'd finally get around to doing something on UGN Security which I did... I went ahead and not only PHPified my site, I also made sure it was both XHTML and CSS valid; though I hadn't had a chance to run it through any accessability engines (yet anyway)...

It suprisingly wasn't as hard as I had planned, but once i got started it was pretty hard to stop (unlike the last couple of times I had stared)...

Cool smile

One of the easier ways to check (and work on) validity is to add a referrer link to the footer so you just click on the link to check the page smile

No need, I have been working so extensively with Validity and FireFox that I have a bookmark on my personal toolbar to check validity of CSS/XHTML wink ...

Validate HTML
Code
javascript:location.href='http://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+document.location.href;
Validate CSS
Code
javascript:location.href='http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri='+document.location.href;
I find sites that shove validate buttons all over the place a tad tacky; most use these random images that look nothing like their site just to yell "look, we're valid!" smirk
