RE: Add validate entire site to FF - 7/30/2006 4:46:02
Did you tick the URL box in the Add Tools section?
Edit: also - did you add the extra bit for XHTML sites into the URL as otherwise nothing would happen if you tried this on an XHTML site.

Great tool. Clever. But, I validate each page as I go, why would I want to run an entire site through?
The only thing I can think is that when the site is complete, you run it as a double check. Or you run it against somebody else's site so you can have a good laugh.
Isn't it just a toy taking up more space?
I agree with what you're saying Jaybee, but in my case, the way I work I guess (we all have different methods don't we?) I check as I go also, and again at site completion stage, but AT site completion stage, when you know you have it all validating or think you do, I figure it's quicker and easier if I can validate all pages at the same time in case one error is repeated across many pages, I can see what the error is and on which pages I've repeated it on.
On a 20 page site it might equate to saving 10 minutes typing in all page URL's, which is good, and on larger sites even better.
There are a zillion validation services out there now, each one I guess is adapted to the author's way of working. This one I feel is the closest I've found (or Tail found for me) that suits the way I work.

Exactly - it's a useful way of checking that you haven't forgotten anything.
