Free Online Tools

Here’s a tip for both web designers and web developers – beginners and advanced.  After creating a new page or even after making a small change to a current page – always, always, always validate the page. 

You can use validation tools that are built into development environments like Dreamweaver, but I recommend the W3C validation tools. 

W3C Markup Validation Service.
http://validator.w3.org/

Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

W3C CSS Validation Service

How We Read Online

Here’s a great article at the Slate.  It covers usability, web design errors, and reading trends online.  It’s not an all encompassing article, but it does touch on a lot of good points.

Also, it makes you wonder why Arial is still king when fonts like Verdana, Trebuchet and Georgia are fonts which are designed for the screen.

Enjoy!

ASP.net Version Test Script

Here’s a little script that we have used over and over again that will display the version of ASP.net that is running on a web server.  This script has been particularly useful when working with virtual hosts. 

Copy and paste the following code into a file (example: test.aspx) and upload to the webserver.

<%@ Page Language=”VB” %>

<script runat=”server”>
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        
        lblASPDOTNETVersion.Text = “This server is running ASP.NET version: ” & _
         System.Environment.Version.ToString()

    End Sub
</script>

<html>
<head>
    <title>Test ASP.NET Version:</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id=”form1″ runat=”server”>
        <asp:Label ID=”lblASPDOTNETVersion” runat=”server”></asp:Label>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

The output should be something similar to:

 This server is running ASP.NET version 1.1.4322.2032
