Checking out the correctness of a site's coding Adrian 10-23-2004

Could someone please tell me how I can check out the correctness of a site's
coding. I have brought about a website, checked it out with various
browsers. It seemed to be ok. Then I come across a browser that has problems
with my site, and I'd like to find out what I have done wrong. Apologies if
this question has been asked a million times before, however I do not have
this information and would be grateful if someone could provide me with an
answer.

"Correctness" is a very broad term. However, you may find my checklist
useful:

Your checklist is indeed very useful, but if one does not use javascript,
what should be used for scripting?

There's nothing inherently wrong with using Javascript. The point is to be
sure that you test the page without Javascrit enabled, making sure the
page is usable without it, even if not quite as you'd prefer.

I think most instances of Javascript I see are largely unnecessary, and
can be dispensed with. But there are plenty of worthwhile things that
Javascript can do, and if it's unavailable the page still can be used, but
perhaps with more mouse-work on the part of the user.
