How to validate HTML code on address bar

Gone are those days where you had to write thousands of lines of code and check manually line by line. We have too many software or editors to validate HTML code. But getting these softwares, installing and then validating your code might take more time and sometimes cost you money. What if it were as easy as just writing a code and validating it from address bar.


If you are a HTML developer or want to validate HTML code, then here is an extension for Chrome using which you can validate code without installing any software. Installing software is not allowed in many companies as most of the companies have compliance issues and you need to get the right permissions before installing. But for extensions as far as I know, there is no such restriction. Chrome extension 'Validity' [download link] is one easy to use extension using which you can validate HTML code, all from address bar.

After installing this extension on Chrome browser, a blue icon will appear as shown in the image here. To check for HTML Code errors click on this icon and it will validate your document or the webpage. This icon will change while processing. It will usually take a minute to contact validator and process depending on the code length. If there are any issues then it will show validation errors along with the number of errors and details will be shown in the console tab of Chrome's developer tools. Also, this extension gives an option to use our own installation of the W3C validation service. This is one of the easiest ways to find HTML code errors in a webpage. Give it a try.
