Hello ruby team.  
I got a new interesting assignment, to validate all html code of all our  
products. Doing this manual would take me a very long time. Thus I seek  
an  
automated solution and wonder if anybody has done something similar?  
Here is  
what I think needs to be done:

1. Generate each html page possible (the html code is created by MySQL  
and  
php scripts). It would be great to have a web crawler clicking each link  
at  
the web-site and saving the generated html-file.
2. Validating all the html files  
Has anybody done something like this? Any ideas regarding what tools to  
use?  
Any recommendations, ideas, etc?  
Thanks for your help.  
Bernd
