Found a neat add-on for FireFox that integrates HTML Tidy directly into FireFox. A yellow warning triangle or green checkbox appears in your status bar to let you know how valid the current HTML page is. Clicking on the status bar icon brings up a source code viewer with questionable lines highlighted, and details on the problems in a three-pane view. Another option will generate the Tidy-cleaned page for you. An added benefit is that the code never leaves your machine, handy when you’re dealing with sensitive data or are off the grid. Neat stuff. Mozilla’s secure add-on site is located here.

SeaMonkey 1.0 released
OSNews reports SeaMonkey 1.0 Released. “The first end-user release of SeaMonkey is now available. Seamonkey is the continuation of what used to be known as the Mozilla Suite; this release incorporates a number of features that we could get to know from the new releases of Firefox and Thunderbird. However, the integration between the applications is as tight as it has always been, for those who prefer this approach.”
I’m looking forward to checking out the web page editor, as I’ve always found it an easy-to-use tool, although the HTML could use some tightening up. Also, don’t overlook the hidden jem of “Venkman” the JavaScript debugger, with call stacks, stepping, value windows and so forth.
