Validation Favelets
Completely out of date with the introduction of Firefox plugins such as Web Developper, favelets were also very tendance at some time.
- W3C validate
W3C validate w/options- W3C CSS validate
- WDG validate
WDG validate w/options- CAST validate (CAST , aka Bobby, soon came out of fashion, because it produced invalid results).
VALIDATE !

- DevEdge article about validating by E. Meyer.
- Tantek excellent source of wisdom about well formed HTML code: Bed and Breakfast, aka the 3rd rule outa 7 (because Tantek announced 7 rules, but I doubt he came to write about all the 7), HTML4 strict tags & CSS2

A the time I started soours.com on dixiesys, there was a lengthy discussion around the web design community (what was to become the WaSP), about the bad habit of opening another window (remember, those were pre-Firefox days, tabbed browsing was in infancy), mainly using target=_"blank". Read about it in this discussion on a W3C forum. I also remember that Jeffrey Zeldman used the not-so-well documented target=_"eljefe".
- I originally linked to the new window bookmarklet. Today this site is mostly about music.
- I first encountered Simon Willison by reading his thoughts about target=_ »blank » & valid XHTML
- Also around the same time, I linked to david gagne‘s blogdata and Scott Andrew‘s archives. Why ?
