This video explores how to find and fix errors and problems in your
HTML or CSS code:
Note: I strongly suggest you view all our videos in full screen mode: click the icon in the lower right corner of the video area (it shows four arrows pointing to the corners of the screen). When you are done, the Esc ("escape") key returns you to regular mode.
Lesson 9: Testing and Debugging
Postscript to the video:
Well, putting into practice what I'm preaching here, I
learned two lessons:
1. To avoid warning messages from the validator, include lang=en
(or whatever your language is) within your <html> start tag
(that is: <html lang=en>)
2. Be sure to include this in your <head>:
<meta charset=utf-8>

Hands on exercise
The goal here is become comfortable with the online validation tools.
For all the lab pages so far:
Validate the HTML and CSS then:
make any corrections needed to clear up the errors.
If time and interest permit, try introducing errors then analyzing the
messages from the validators
This bonus video discusses the cache and how to clear it:
