It is not necessary to convert them at all. As long as your markup(html/css) code is valid then you are just fine.

If your document is on the web, you can validate it to the advanced option by entering its address instead. There is a HTML Validator for Mozilla which check pages from within the Firefox web browser. It is a mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside firefox and mozilla

Valid HTML conforms with standards as described by the World Wide Web Consortium (also known as the W3C -- http://www.w3.org/). The W3C defines these standards so software from different vendors will understand HTML in the same way.

It's similar to having a dictionary and grammar rules for English.

Validation is the process of verifying (with software) that the HTML conforms to all the rules of the language. Like most languages, HTML is evolving, so there are versions (and dialects, like XHTML).

Validation is like spell-checking and grammar-checking your HTML.

I would say it is using front end scripting & HTML to validte user input -- as opposed to sending the unput to the app layer and carrying out the validation there

It validates the HTML page if the html tags,attributes and other characteristics are up-to-date. If you have not known before, their are many versions of html, and I think that the most recent today is xhtml.

By validating the html pages,validators can see whether the pages' html properties are still suitable for what is allowed by the internet governing body W3C.

That's when HTML is verified as having the correct syntax and usage.

its when a computer program is used to check the validity or syntactical correctness of a fragment of code or document. The term is commonly used in the context of validating HTML, CSS and XML documents or RSS feeds though it can be used for any defined format or language.

Valid HTML is HTML that has been written in accordance with WC3 and uses the correct syntax.

It means validation at the front end.

The userinput is checked at the client end rather than sending it to the server end
