| What is a validation tool, and why is it important. There are many browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Opera, et al., and each of them has different versions, such as IE 6, 5.5, 5, 4, Netscape 7, 6.2, 4.x ad nauseum. Add to this mix the various platforms (with their different versions): Windows, Macintosh, Linux. The problem with all these differences is that they do not always handle every webpage in the same manner, not only is HTML displayed a bit different, but more advanced options such as CSS also cause problems. Sometimes these differences are minor, but other times the differences will render a page unreadable to people using certain browsers on certain platforms. Validation tools work to tell you what is and what is not compatible on your website.
