You could throw an 'if' into the top of those pages, and allow those that
pass some criteria to 'pass go'.

  If in the QueryString user == htmlhelpValidator

-or-

parse for whatever user agent htmlhelp.com uses 
(I believe the W3C validator has W3C in the ua string)

Subject: [thelist] HTML validation for protected pages

I develop dynamic web content that requires user login before accessing the
page.  It's a lot of trouble to validate the HTML since these pages are not
accessible without login.
 
The way I validate these pages today is a lot of trouble.
 
- Login to the web
- Navigate to the page
- VIEW SOURCE
- SELECT ALL
- COPY
- Load the WDG validator at
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/direct.html
- SELECT ALL in the text input box
- PASTE
- SUBMIT the validation
 
Anyone have an easier solution than this 9 step method ?
 
Sam
