HTML Syntax Checker

The WebWizard includes a Syntax Checker which checks for obvious mistakes in your HTML code.

The WebWizard can perform the following checks:

  • Check for Required Tags - Checks for the existence of <HTML>, <HEAD>, and <BODY> tags
  • Check Tag Ordering - Checks that tags come in the right order
  • Check Closing Tags - Checks for invalid closing tags. For instance, the <META> tag doesn't require a </META> tag
  • Check Tag Attributes - Checks for unrecognised attributes with HTML tags. For instance, <A SRC="page.html">
  • Check Nesting - Checks for invalid "nested" HTML tags. A "nested" tag is an opening tag, before the previous tag has been closed. For instance, <BIG><BIG>Some Very Big Text</BIG></BIG> is valid, but <A><A>Click Me</A></A> is not a valid nest, as you can't start another link before closing the previous link
  • Check Internet Explorer Compatibility - Checks for compatibility with Internet Explorer browsers
  • Check Mozilla (Firefox/Netscape) Compatibility - Checks for compatibility with Mozilla based browsers, such as Firefox and Netscape
  • Check HTML 4.01 Compatibility - Checks for compatibility with the current HTML standard (4.01)
