Validating HTML syntax

The HTML Syntax Validator validates HTML basic syntax and HTML DTD compliance for HTML and JSP files created in Page Designer.

Important: For JSP files, this validator only validates the HTML syntax in the file. Refer to Validating project resources for additional details on the JSP Validator.

Note: Version 7 of the product supports W3C HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 and 1.1. Legacy and nonstandard tags (e.g. "xmp" tags ) are reported by validation as problems. If you need to ensure that a site completely meets W3C's standards, you should use their validation services.

1. To validate an HTML or JSP file that is currently open in Page Designer:

   1. Click

      Tools | Validate HTML Syntax

2. To enable HTML syntax validation to run when you build a project:

   1. Click

      Window | Preferences | Validation.

   2. Select the

      HTML Syntax Validator check box in the build column.

   3. Click OK.

      Important: Automatic validation might have an impact on performance.
