Will it give the errors that one makes in the html?
It'll give you basically the same report that the W3 validator does.

Will it show the links that are broken?
That will be included in a second release.

Will it by past the code from a merchant that has an affiliate market? By that I mean most affiliates have a weird code that they use and each usually gets red flagged cause of it.
If it's in the HTML, it should be valid. It'll give suggestions for fixing those, but they will still count as errors.

Will it do anything with the graphics of a site, like say if that file is to large?
Nope. That has nothing to do with validation.

Will it have examples of the errors it comes up with?
It'll give example fixes on most everything during phase 3.

If one uses scripts, will it show errors in them?
JavaScript possibly. CSS = yes.

Will it be able to follow a site. Page 1 to whatever? OR would you have to put page by page to test them out?
If it were page by page, it'd be the same as the W3 validator. This is designed to do your whole site and report on pages which have errors so you can ignore pages that don't.

Will there be a free version and a pay version?
Yes. It'll be based on size of the site and level of service.

Do you need testers?
I will at some point, but I've got to get the rest of the interface finished first.

Will this by like net mechanic or totally different?
It'll be different in that it's totally focused on finding errors in deep pages and letting you focus on those instead of digging through and seeing page by page if it validates.

Will it tell you if your html file is to large?
Depends on your definition of too large. I have a 1.8MB HTML file that is validating right now. I could tell you if it's too big to be usable, but there technically isn't a file size limit.

Will it be able to look at flash pages?
It will be able to validate the tags used to embed the flash.

Will it have pop up windows for things it shows or fixes?
Version 3 will have that. I need to get the basics covered first.

Will it have different levels for pricing?
Yes, based upon site size and service level (number of page checks per month).

Will you be handing out a stamp of appoval? Graphic to put on a site?
Yes. That'll be on a page level with automatic updating of the seal if a page is valid or not.

Will you have an affiliate program?
I will at some point, but I've got to get the site selling to people first.

Am I way off in right field?
I think you're playing short stop.

Thanks for the questions.

Brian.
