I read in many places from the web, the question: “why is the w3c validation so important?”. In my opinion, it’s important to make a hight quality website, not just a website.
We use the doctype for xHTML 1.0 [strict or Transitional]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>
OR
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
So, why is this so important:
1. A quality code is easily interpreted by any browser so you will avoid problems in different browsers.
2. You can see the website even using a mobile phone with no problems.
3. A better search engine optimisation. Crawlers will get the content with no problems.
…And many others.
How to check the website validation?
Simple, just go to validator.w3.org and enter your URL.
