How to validate using W3C’s online validation tools
You can also validate your HTML code using:
http://validator.w3.org
And your CSS code using:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Validating DotNetNuke
Using the W3C validation tools, you have the option to validate a page by: entering the URL, uploading your skin file, or entering the code direct into the page.
What you need to be aware of:
Validating HTML via a URL
The validation tools will not read a page that is created by DotNetNuke as valid code. Here you can see a list of the errors that are produced by DotNetNuke.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcss.dnncreative.com
How do I know if the validation errors are produced by my skin or DotNetNuke?
Once you have used the validation tool a few times, you will recognize which errors are created by DotNetNuke and you will be able to spot any errors created by your skin.
Is there an easier method?
Yes, if you follow the method below then you have a definite answer for the validation of your html.
