However, I've got a question about the assertions currently available. I'm delighted to see that JMeter uses Tidy as an HTML parser. My question is, is there any way I can use this to validate HTML in my responses as an assertion? 1.9.1 has an XML assertion for well-formed XML, but the site I'm testing would prefer to validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional. Is there something out there which can validate HTML? If not, how difficult would it be to write an assertion for it? I noticed that the developers' manual doesn't appear to have a section on writing assertions.
