What other resources are available for validating the HTML of web pages?
While Bobby is able to find many of the more common accessibility problems on web pages, there are still many situations which it is unable to discover. Those interested in more detailed information should look at the following resources: • W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative • Trace Web Access Page • CPB/WGBH National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) In addition to checking for disability access, Bobby finds HTML elements and element attributes that are not compatible across browsers. This is a different type of analysis than some other HTML Validators found on the internet. Bobby does not check for valid document structure. While it will find incorrect HTML elements and element attributes for specific browsers, it doesn’t look for things like two HEAD sections in an HTML document, or the necessity of placing a concluding tag after a
- tag, etc. For validation, we recommend using several other tools that are available free on the net.
