Title: Check a page
Slug: check
Description: Check a page against Mews Profile 0.1, and add your site to the directory.

# Check a page

[The Mews](/) · [Directory](/directory) · [Get started](/quickstart) · [Specification](/spec/0.1)

Paste an address. The checker validates the page against the [Mews DTD](/dtd/mews-0.1.dtd), reads your stylesheet and up to twenty images, and lists every rule it breaks with the section of the spec that explains it.

<form action="/result" method="post">
  <fieldset>
    <p><label for="url">Page address</label><br />
    <input type="text" name="url" id="url" size="30" maxlength="200" accesskey="1" /></p>
    <p><input type="submit" name="check" value="Check page" accesskey="2" />
    <input type="submit" name="list" value="Check and list" accesskey="3" /></p>
  </fieldset>
</form>

- **Check page** just returns the validator's report.

- **Check and list** also puts your site in the <a href="/directory" accesskey="4">directory</a> if the page passes. 

Either way it takes up to a minute, with no progress bar, because that would want JavaScript. Leave this page open and put the kettle on.

<hr />

A page turned down over something the spec doesn't say is a bug in the validator, not a fault in your page. Report it to the address on the <a href="/" accesskey="0">home page</a>.
