During the past couple of weeks we noticed that whenever we tweak our theme or change something in one of our posts, it causes some pages to become XHTML invalid. We came to think that you never know where it is going to hit you, so we sat down and created a small application which helps you keep all your pages XHTML valid. We checked it on our sitemap, and seems we have some HTML work to do :).

This application is written in WPF and is based on the .Net Framework 3.5.

It will allow you to validate you entire sitemap in one click. The validation is done through the W3C validation SOAP service, so you can trust it :).

Here is how it works:

1. Type in your web site sitemap path and click Validate

   

2. Once the validator starts working you will see on the right side the number of pages in the sitemap, and the number of valid and invalid pages.

   

3. On the left side you will see a list of invalid URLs.
   
   
4. Click on the arrow in the left side and you will get all the errors in that page

   

5. Hover above an error to see some additional information about the error.

   

This is just the first version of the application so there might be bugs. Please comment if you find any bugs or if you have any questions about the application .

Feel free to tell about any feature you think is missing.

Enjoy.
