I sit here in front of my computer, usually all day (disabled) and I try to learn stuff. I hear about theme compliance, but what about a single block being compliant? Is there such a thing, as having some way to check a block (itself) for compliance? Just wondering.

The only way I have done this in the past is by adding comment tags within the HTML to make it easier for me to find the relevant HTML quicker, copy it out and paste is into a template I had with appropriate head/body tags. The body content would be empty in this template and I'd paste the relevant code in and then copy-and-paste the whole HTML page into the on-line validator. Messy... I know.

Now, however, with jQuery and plain javascript know-how, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a way now to automate this... in fact, while I have not looked, I wonder if there isn't a browser plug-in that will allow you to grab a section of code and submit with all the appropriate "surrounding HTML"... nice idea for a plug-in.

I think that this topic holds more post, by me, than in all of the years that I've been with this professional community. I do need to get more involved with forums, if for nothing else, than to learn more about them. I do make errors and take any corrections as a part of the learning process.

Thanks everyone! Shocked

I love www.totalvalidator.com and as I have the Pro version, I find it really useful for validating CMS's, specifically identifying particular pages that might have had none compliant data added as a news article etc.
