Searching for an automated html coding error program

MarkStrobel3367 · 03-06-2010, 01:14 AM

Is there a free or reasonably priced software or program that can automatically fix html coding errors? I just came across Html Validator 0.8.6.1 (FireFox addon), but the automated cleanup function disabled my newsletter signup form. Also, the errors this addon detected were inconsistent with the errors discovered with http://validator.w3.org/. Thanks.

I use that addon and don't bother with the W3C official validation at all.

Reasons for that are simple, the "http://validator.w3.org/" is overused and slow as is, I can check my pages offline, and any errors that actually matter (Cross browser layout destroying) it's always found for me.

Sorry though, don't know of anything that'll correct your HTML that's free. And I wouldn't rely on such a thing anyway myself, because there's bound to be a lot of bugs in such a thing since it has to "assume" what you meant in your written code a lot.
