What is the best "free" HTML validator? It would be nice if it validated CSS at the same time.

Many thanks!

W3C's is probably the best I've come across... especially seeing as they wrote the standards.

It checks whether your code conforms to any of the HTML standards (i.e. which ever you define at the top of your page).

FYI : for all you people who want to validate html

if you are using KDE their webbrowser Konquror (V3.03) has a validate button on the browser which sends the file directly to W3C

I'm not a Konquror type of guy, but that's a really neat feature. Thanks hololi!
