AJAXperiment

“AJAX“, is it a buzzword, methodology, technology or Web2.0-crapology?
It all depends on who you ask but I do think that when used properly, not excessively that a little bit of AJAX magic can do wonders.
I began thinking a little while back that I’d like to make a little tool to crawl a web page, check links, images, scripts etc. The problem with these things is that it takes time - too much time for a normal page, it would stall and die.
So, I thought it the perfect project to split up the jobs to be done and update the client as each of them are completed - I.E. a loading bar. What it does is split the requests to be done into chunks and then when the client’s side (AJAX) calls the server it processes a chunk and then updates the client again - simple.
It is by FAR not a completed tool, merely a fraction of what could be done. In reality it should check for Description tags, Author, check image ALT tags, check syntax etc.
Have a try here: Mini Page Checker

Nice little tool
Looks good.
BTW I’m sorry I didn’t get around to returning to the podcast site. Jut very busy. If I think of it I will check it out again and try to give some feedback.

Very nice.
On some pages you get a 302 response and I can not see the reason why.
Anyhow you did a great job.
That’s really cool, and looks great (very Web2.0-crapology!)!
