Hi Steve

I found this site http://www.dotjay.co.uk/2005/03/21/add-validate-entire-site-to-web-developer-extension which explains how to add Validate an entire site html and xhtml to the web developer toolbar in FF. Could your toolbar do something similar? Currently I can't get this to work with a password protected site, though it will work for one page, and the keyboard shortcuts don't work for me, if you can add this to the toolbar can you do any better on this? This is a great tool for checking the whole site at once when all the work is done as a last check. I would love this feature in the toolbar as I use IE to surf and check validation, I only use FF to see how the pages look. Thanks for your hard work and time. Regards Tina Clarke
 
Hi Tina,

The firefox extension modification you mentioned adds the WDG HTML validator (spider site option).

The toolbar already has this function under "validate > wdg html validator > validate site".


note: the WDG site validation will check a max. of 50 pages.
 
Hi Steve,
I've been using your toolbar for years and it's been a huge help and time saver for many projects - so thanks for your efforts.

A quick heads up on the latest release of IE (7) - the resize button only works if there is only 1 tab - not a biggy, but thought you might like to know for future dev.
 
I love this tool, but on this project I am having problems accessing an internal site via VPN that uses frames and requires authentication. Any of the tools that actually want to go to the Web server to get data cannot do it.

Things are fine if it is just scaping the Web page in the browser, but I do need it to do a more thorough analysis. I have set the site as local intranet, but this does not help. I tried to download pages, but that breaks all of the links.

Any ideas?
 
Steve, found your tool after a Web usability seminar here in Sydney...

Ran the Vision Simulator against our Corp. site, www.opsm.com.au, and it bugged out on me, errors:
Warning: fopen(/var/log/vischeck/imageEngineLog) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vischeck/imageEngine.php on line 389

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vischeck/imageEngine.php:389) in /var/www/vischeck/imageEngine.php on line 77
