Description Jukka K. Korpela 2011-10-06 12:56:04 CEST

Please consider adding an option for recursive validation, i.e. for validating all pages of a site, to the extent that they are reachable via links on the initial page.

Such a feature would require additions to both the basic functionality and the user interface, but it would make the service much more useful. Just as many people have found the “Validate entire site” feature at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ essential.

I believe it was the author's intention for interested users to take the standalone validator and use it for just such a purpose. I've done exactly that and I invite you to come and use it: http://html.validator.pro/ 
All the validator.nu styles are intact so you should be quite familiar with the results.
