Simple Jscript/asp validation
-
I have been tasked with maintaining our companies web site while our current web developer is on leave. While most of the tasks are rather easy even with no web development experience, I'm having some trouble with validating the syntax of my code. Due to the nature of the site, the pages have to be checked onto a staging server before they can actually be run. Doing this takes about 10 minutes, which slows things down quite a bit if you, for example, mismatch your parentheses. Are there any sort of syntax checkers out there that can be run on a file to detect gross mistakes like this? Also, this web site is rather ancient, and the original developer is no longer with the company, leaving both myself and the current web developer at a disadvantage when it comes to determining where things are and how they are laid out. Are there any tools available that can digest a web site and display it's layout? I have encountered large amounts of dead code so far, and with grep being my main tool, simple changes can take a lot longer then they should.
