In various places on this site you will find thumbnails like the ones on the right. They are usually not accompanied by any text. You can click on them to see a short demo of the topic just covered. For example, the first one is a general look at how to use the HTMLValidator. If there is ever a clip on a Homework page, you are expected to follow the written instructions, not the clip. The clip is there only to help your understanding.
Those students who do not have access to a PC may use the online version of the HTMLValidator which is now based on the pro edition instead of the lite edition. Another possibility is the W3C Validation service. You need to know that the W3C validator will not necessarily give all of the correct results! Students are responsible for correcting all mistakes, no matter which validator is used.
To use either of the online validators, choose either Validate by File Upload or Validate by Direct Input. After the final validation, save the html page as "validation.html" and submit this along with your homework.
