They are just fancy bookmarks, but they are extremely useful. We have the table exporter, and now we have CSS Validate and HTML Validate.

(move those pages here, we don't need separate pages for this)
Simple bookmarklets
Macintosh Users:
- Simply drag one of the links below into your personal toolbar.
- Try the Button by pointing your browser to a test page and clicking on one of the new buttons.
Windows and Unix/Linux Users
- Place your mouse pointer on one of the links.
- Press down the right mouse button and select "Add Bookmark for Link".
- From the Bookmarks menu, select "Edit Bookmarks".
- Drag and drop the newly added bookmark into your Personal Toolbar folder.
- Rename the bookmark. (The name of the bookmark will be "javascript:blahblah" so changing it is of great value.)
- Try the Button by pointing your browser to a test page and clicking on it.
["javascript:void(location.href='http://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+location.href)" HTML Validate]
(someone fix this please, it's past 11 now and I'm not allowed to post things after 11 because *this* happens)
These buttons will do things when you click on them. You will not have to type the URL for the web page into any form since it will be all done automatically.
