html error checker?

Post by salrathor1 »

Hey guys, two quick questions.

1. I've seen that Jacek uses a program to check his html code during tutorials. What is it called?

2. What does init stand for in init.inc.php. It's kind of bothering me.

Thanks

The answer to part 2, is I believe, Initiate
But I am not entirely sure.

Thanks Dom and Jacek, one less thing to worry about tonight lol

And the validator doesn't seem to be compatible on firefox for Mac.

People usually post versions for other platforms in this section of his forum http://www.htmlpedia.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=11 That's where I got the linux one anyway.

Hey Jacek,

I've just reinstalled linux on a laptop I have and wanted to install the validator. I've downloaded the file but how do I add it?

Thanks

In Firefox, Tools -> Add-Ons, now click the little cog near the search bar and click install from file.
