Greetings webmasters,

I am writing an essay and I have a few questions about validation and accessibility.

  • Do you validate your webpages? If not, why?
  • What validator do you use?
  • After validation do you take it a step further and check for issues with accessibility (for example, how the pages will effect screen readers)?
  • In your opinion, what is the point of validation?
  • If you have any other thoughts, voice them here.


Thanks all! :D

This is for school. o.o;

Any accessibility opinions? Validation, screen-readers, etc. ;)

Jeff.

I do* validate my pages, using the validator from W3C (haven't looked at others). I do not check for accessibility issues for the simple reason that I haven't looked into that subject. :P The only other testing I do is just loading up the page and verifying that everything looks fine in the newest Windows versions of IE, Chrome, and of course Firefox.

And the point of validation? Well, to make sure your markup complies with the standards that any other web page should be expected to follow... which in turn means that any browser should be able to render the page properly. (All the major browsers do have their own quirky ways of interpreting improperly marked-up pages, but in theory, they should all interpret proper markup in the same way.)

*Been a couple years since I've written a page, but replying anyway fwiw.
Those who will remember, will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze.
