Validome-Help
Document type:
The Document Type Declaration
decides, which Markup Language version will be used by Validome for processing the document.
By the standards of a SGML- or XML-based Markup Language a HTML-/XHTML-document must declare a document type and the source code
must be compliant to the declared standard to make a document valid. Each Document Type Declaration is based on a W3C-specification
with a related Document Type Definition (DTD).
Charset encoding:
The charset encoding
decides, which encoding (e.g. UTF-8, ISO-8859-1) shall be used for processing the document.
The charset encoding that has to be used can be specified via HTTP-Header,
XML-Declaration
or Meta-Tag. Furthermore
in UTF-8-, UTF-16- or UTF-32-documents there is the chance to insert a Byte Order Mark
at the beginning of the document to indicate the encoding. Last, but not least, we try to detect the charset encoding automatically
by looking for the Byte order of the document.
Extended settings:
View Sourcecode, Doctree:
Sourcecode and / or Document Tree will be shown.
Header Data:
in addition to the HTTP-Header, some more validating informations will be shown.
View Report:
Gives a short report of all Warnings/Remarks and Errors.
User-Agent:
Every browser submits in HTTP-Header amongst others the used operating system, it's manufacturer and
the browsers versioning to the server, when it tries to get a document. Depending on this
data, an adequate programmed
program/script may behave different. For example it is possible to transmit different HTML/CSS/JavaScript
to different browsers. To test those "Browser Sniffers", it is possible to choose some User-Agent-data beneath
the point "User-Agent". This User-Agent will be sent when Validome is going to make the request
for the document to be validated.
Accept-Language:
You can simulate different browser language settings.
If there is a server based "Language Sniffer", you can test all your different language versions to be valid.
Accept-Encoding:
Almost every browser is sending the HTTP-Header entry "Accept-Encoding:gzip"
to tell the server, that the browser is able to receive compressed documents. So you can test the server's
support of this technology by checking this checkbox.
