Web Coding Workflow
Reviewing Your Code Output
You will need to check your code output frequently to make sure you are getting the results
you want.
• Use the text editor’s View in Browser option to see your web page in your computer’s
default browser.
• If your text editor does not have that command, open your web browser, and under
File use the Open File option to locate and open your .html file.
• When you make code changes, return to the browser view of the page and refresh
it to see the code changes. F5 is the refresh hotkey.
• Tip: Keep the same browser window open, rather than repeatedly opening new
versions every time you make a code change you want to review.
Validating Your Code
After you have completed coding a page to your satisfaction, you need to run it through
the W3C Markup Validation Service (W3C Validator). This helps you standardize your
code so that your web page is compliant with the standards used by various browsers – so
that your pages will look and work right.
