Completely Free Ways to Check if Your Website’s HTML Web Pages are Compliant & Valid With W3 Standards
Apr 9, 2009 Code & Scripts, IT Tips, Online Tools, Open Source, Quick Tips, Website Design
The 2 best ways of validating your websites HTML or XHTML are to use the Validator at W3C.org or a Firefox addon[plugin] such as my favorite, Html Validator 0.8.5.2 by Marc Gueury.
If you opt for using the Validator at W3C.org, you will visit their website and type in the URL of the webpage that you want validated. There are many options that you have at your disposal when your run the check. You can view the source code of the webpage and the Validator provides you with line number and what line number the errors, if any, occur.
With the FireFox addons you simply view source of the webpage you are currently on and at the bottom of the screen you will either see the HTML markup is valid or that there are errors in the code. If errors to occur, suggestion on how to fix them will be displayed in the lower right hand corner box. I personally prefer this plugin to visiting the Validator at W3C.org simply because its quicker and easier.

Handle 404, 500, and 301 Errors as Well as Many Others With an .htaccess file
Dec 6, 2008 Code & Scripts, Programming, Quick Tips
Lets suppose you wanted to redirect users to your home page if they attempted to access a page that was NOT on your server. There is a very quick and simple way to do this. Its called a 404 redirect using an .htaccess file. You simply create a new file in Microsoft Notepad and type this: “ErrorDocument 404 /index.php” (Without the quotes). Then you simply save the file as .htaccess and upload it to your root directory. From now on when someone visits www.yoursite.com/chickentastes/good.html they will automatically be redirected to your homepage.
Interestingly enough you can also redirect to a specific page such as a custom 400 error page that you code up in php or html or whatever. See examples below. Just replace the “/errors/badrequest.html” part with “/myCustom400ErrorPage.php” and you’ll be fine.
