The Total Validator Advanced Desktop Tool can be run from your desktop and validate an entire site at once a very useful tool to have, it also will spell check your alt attributes.
To validate an entire site, insert the path of the site you wish to validate or browse to it. I suggest selecting the home page file as your starting point.
Under ‘What to Check’, Leave the ‘Number of Pages’ pane on the ‘Basic Tab’ blank to accomplish this
To run a validation without a spell check on the ‘Basic Tab’ under ‘Validations’ select the drop down arrow on the Spell Check selection and select the blank area at the top of the list.
If you do want to do a spell check, then select your language from the same drop down list.
If you want to include your Alt Attribute (Tags) Text tick the ‘Include Attributes’ radio box on the ‘Advanced Tab’ under ‘Spell Check Options’
When you want to eliminate certain selections from the results insert the codes Total Validator - ( examples below ) produces, in the Advanced Tab - Miscellaneous Options

MSDN Blogs MVP Award Program has featured my Expression Web Dynamic Web Templates Ebook 2.0
The ebook is FREE to download and use, and has been recently revamped and updated. So if you have an old one ditch it and get the new one. It seems updates are the flavour of the week, I’ve updated so many applications this week I’m getting cross eyed.
What can you find in the ebook? Well as well as all the in’s and outs of how to make, edit, delete, add and generally use DWTs. There is a section on what to do with your template before you make it a DWT with a lot of resources within the text for you to reference.
Making a template and turning it into a DWT is one thing but your work should validate before you use it and contain basic seo principles too. Once you have the methods in place it’s a simple matter to remember what to do next time.
If you need more help with DWTs please feel free to join my Microsoft Expression Web List on Yahoo
There are other Free Ebooks to be found with the above ebook too.
I decided it was time to get FireFox 3 - I wanted to be sure all my addons were going to work first - and I heard about a new (to me) validator and I decided to try it out.
Total Validator is a free all-in-one validator which includes the following:
Works as a Firefox Add-on or extension.
I tried it against the HTML Tidy FireFox Add-on and Total Validator found more problems.
However what I really like is the Alt Attribute spell check, I have not found anything like that before.
This update resolves a problem in Expression Web 2.0 that prevents macros from running on Windows Vista.
For those of you who wanted to use the Expression Web Extras Toolbar Macro from Expression Web Extras which includes the below features. You will now be able to run it on Expression Web 2.0
