hii..

I wanted to know which free service/software should I use to check my code if its valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I tried the following free services:-

1. http://validator.w3.org/
2. http://www.validome.org
3. The HTML validator addon for Firefox

BUT I notice all three result in something different. For the same page, one is giving me few errors, one few warnings and one validates correctly.

So, which one should I trust more or should I make my code pass all 3 ?

Thank You

Well, the first one is the official one, because it's W3C that determines what's valid XHTML and what's not. Other stuff should just be used as a convenience. They should get you the same result, but if they don't, google around and fix up whatever you can. But remember, the final say should be the official W3C validator. Good luck!

Hi Frank,

A lot of developers / designers prefer “validator.w3.org”, because it definitely validates your code as much as possible to make it more user-friendly and appealing to potential customers. Check your website in other testing software and remove the common bugs as well. But just remember, the first priority is to remove all w3.org bugs.
