HTMLValidator: CSE HTMLValidator is the HTML validator I use to check my *.html web pages for syntax errors. Starting with version 5, it also checks *.css style sheets. See the HTMLValidator FAQ to get a hint of what it can do, or download the free light version. One thing the validator will complain about is &s in your CGI URLS; it wants you to spell them out as &amp. The CGI server will still see them as plain & since your browser converts them back to plain & The full version costs $129.00 USD .
You can configure it to ignore certain classes of error or certain blocks of HTML with <cseignore> ... </cseignore> tags. I very much like this feature. It lets me bring my HTML gradually into conformance. I ask it not to bug me about picky stuff like missing </p> or using <ul> ... </ul> for indenting. It is a terrible RAM and CPU hog. I can't run anything else on my 233 MHz 256MB machine when it is running. It takes a long time to verify files.
