Abstract

Whereas the appliance of the Document Object Model yields Extensible Markup Language documents with complete well-formedness, it does have the potential of outputting invalid code. We present current techniques for measuring the accessibility and standards conformance of Web sites. The techniques are then applied to perform a temporal analysis of a dynamically driven test case, which is in contrast to the hitherto tendency emphasising the Web standards conformance of static pages. We introduce an easy to use, cross-browser approach to validate the source code in the interim period between loading and unloading of a single Web page and show that it handles the test case in the correct manner.
