How to check the HTML code
Learn how to check HTML code, with an example to get you started!
Checking HTML Code
When coding HTML, it is important to check that your code is valid and that it renders correctly in a web browser. To do this, you can use a tool such as the W3C Markup Validation Service. This is a free service that checks HTML for conformance to web standards.
To use the W3C Markup Validation Service, you need to enter your code into the validator. You can do this in two ways: by entering a URL or by pasting in the HTML code itself. Let’s look at an example of both.
Checking HTML with URL
To check HTML code with a URL, simply enter the URL into the validator. The validator will then fetch the HTML code from the URL and check it for errors. For example, if you wanted to check the HTML code for example.com, you would enter the URL into the validator: https://example.com/
Checking HTML with Code
If you want to check HTML code without using a URL, you can paste it directly into the validator. For example, if you had the following HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
You would paste it into the validator to check it for errors.
Once you have entered your HTML code into the validator, it will process it and provide a report. The report will show any errors in your code, as well as warnings and suggestions. It is important to go through the report and fix any errors before publishing your code.
Using the W3C Markup Validation Service is a great way to check HTML code for errors and ensure that it is valid. It is a free service and can save you time and effort in debugging your code.
