Here’s a way to assert_valid_markup in Rails. I don’t know if it’s old news or not, but it’s new to me. I always test my markup in the W3C validator after it’s live. I’ve never looked into any other solution, so I think I’ll find this useful. Anyone know how to test for valid markup (locally) other than this?

Interesting. However, I have to confess – I haven’t been concerned with valid markup for a long time. I think I just assume I’m writing perfect code :-p

I praise valid markup. Such a shame that my site doesn’t validate at the moment. :-p

Chris—You probably do write perfect code, but you’re the exception. The rest of us have to check. Didn’t you even write your own validator at some point?
I don’t know what it is about valid markup, but I usually always try to comply with it (to an extent). Always on my own site, but my eagerness dies down on applications that exist mostly behind a login.
