29404 - RFE: Show HTML validity automatically

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6211

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Request for enhancement: at the bottom of the mozilla window, display an icon 
indicating whether the page is valid html or not.  I imagine small icons 
without bright colors, with a number (html version) and a green check mark for 
valid html and a red X for invalid html.  When displaying a blank page, the 
area would be blank.  When displaying an image, mozilla could leave the area 
blank or put a "gif", "png", etc. icon in the same location.

Double-clicking the icon should explain why incorrect html is incorrect, and 
always give users the option of turning off the feature (along with 
instructions on where to find the option in preferences if they want to turn it 
back on).  

This feature would help mozilla testers figure out why pages are displaying 
differently in different browsers (is the html bogus, or is one of the browsers 
messing up?)  If on by default, it would also encourage webpage builders to 
write html that displays as intended on all compliant browsers.

This would be nice. Perhaps a friently green mozilla in the throbber for valid page and a steaming red one for the page with errors/quirks/... This would make the throbber actually useful :)
