At the end of Video 2 - HTML, Dojo members are asked to carry out the following exercise:
Pick your favourite website and use different tools to evaluate the site. Then write a report about issues you have found on the site and share with others on the Ministry of Testing club forum
This thread can be used to share your report, compare your report with reports raised by other Dojo Members and discuss to learn more. With this in mind please keep your comments and questions related to the discussion of the exercise.
If you’re struggling with your report here are some things you might want to share:
- What did you learn about the site you tested?
- What issues did you face when evaluating the HTML on the site?
- What bugs, if any, did you discover?
- What tools did you use?
The website I am evaluating is https://archive.org , and I see many issues while validating it using https://validator.w3.org service.Some of them are :
- including type attribute in javascript script tag
- using obsolete element like center, font and using valign attribute on tr element
- missing role element for div tag
- adding _target attribute on a tag
- Not adding alt attribute on img tag
- adding elements without end tag or adding end tag of an element without adding the start tag.

Hi @helena21
Great job on this. One exercise to take your research a step forward is to think how you might raise these issues in a bug report? Some things I would consider raising are:
- What the issues are and why it’s important to fix them (Perhaps accessibility is important or there is a legal requirement to hit an HTML standard)
- What tools did you use (In this case validator)
- Are there any reports or logs that came out of the validator you could add as well?
How would you advocate for these fixes to your team and what information would you want to share?
Excellent work so far @helena21!
