Depressing Validation Results
On a whim, I decided to attempt validating every website I mentioned yesterday. Overall, XHTML won out the results. But they are depressing none the less.
- XHTML
- Blogger (This Blog)
- XHTML 1.0 Transitional
- FAILED
- 70 Errors
- Opera
- XHTML 1.0 Strict
- PASS!
- FireFox (Mozilla)
- XHTML 1.0 Strict
- PASS!
- Facebook (Home Page for signed in user)
- XHTML 1.0 Strict
- FAILED
- 659 Errors (wow.)
- MySpace (Home Page)
- NO DOCTYPE FOUND (FAILED)
- Twitter (Home page for signed in user)
- XHTML 1.0 Strict
- FAILED
- 82 Errors
- W3C (Home Page)
- XHTML 1.0 Strict
- PASS!
- HTML
- Microsoft (Home page)
- HTML 4.0 Transitional
- FAILED
- 31 Errors
- Yahoo!
- HTML 4.01 Strict
- FAILED
- 294 Errors
- Apple
- HTML 4.01 Transitional
- FAILED
- 4 Errors
- Google (non-iGoogle homepage)
- NO DOCTYPE FOUND (FAILED)
- WHATWG (Homepage)
- HTML 4.01 Strict
- FAILED
- 5 Errors
PASS/FAIL Results:
- XHTML
- 3/7 Passed
- HTML
- 0/5 Passed
The Results are bad enough as they are for the XHTML websites, but not a single HTML website validates, not even the WHATWG. Irony much?
