Checking online site?

[Paradise]

Hi,

can i check my sites via URL? I mean whats online. Because if you have PHP in ID's or forms that are filled out online from your cms, than you get errors in Dreamweaver.

For Surveyor or any other site crawling tool you should be using the URL for your site and not the local files. So long as you point to the live URL for your site it should be fine. Let us know if you have any problems.

In the Web Standards Advisor i have only:

Entire local site
Open Documents
Selected files in site
Current file
Folder...

Sorry about that, I spoke to soon. With Web Standards Advisor you are limited to running it on a local site. You should obviously not be paying any attention to the warnings about the php code as this will not be present on the live site.

One way that you might be able to use the html of your local site would be to use a tool like Site Import to import your site locally, then create a new DW site for the local copy and run the Advisor on these files. Other than this you will be running it against your source files that include the php code in them.

Its ok. I know that and i also own CSE HTML Validator and use the W3 Validator. I know i'm to be a stickler for details to check everything double and triple *lol

But maybee a feature request to check from urls?

I agree, that would be a handy feature. I will make sure that it is logged so it can be reviewed for inclusion in an update.
