Errors  are  not  reported  nor  do  they  cause  a  web  page  not  to  load.  If  an  error  exists  in  the  code,  the  browser  ignores  it  and  tries  its  best  to  display  the  remainder  of  the  page.  To  keep  the  quality  of  web  pages  high  and  to  confi  rm  that  a  page  is  built  according  to  the  standards,  a  validation  should  be  performed  on  a  web  page.  Validation  is  a  process  of  checking  the  code  to  ensure  it  contains  no  errors  of  syntax  or  usage.  The  W3C  validation  site  (validator.w3.org)  can  be  used  to  check  for  valid  code.  Visit  this  site  and  submit  a  web  address  or  a  fi  le  or  directly  enter  code  to  check  for  errors.  Just  for  fun,  examine  the  W3  Schools  site  for  conformance  to  standards,  as  shown  in  Figure  13-23.  The  site  passes,  but  two  warnings  are  issued.

There  are  several  technologies  used  in  web  page  development  to  produce  interactivity.  These  include  JavaScript,  PHP,  and  other  preprocessors.
