You are a brave (wo)man.
Other than googling the night away, I can't help.
You may not be able to find a validation service as such, but from my admittedly bad memory NS2 will be a pig if you use current thinking.
This might help
Basically steer clear of anything remotely CSS related, and Javascript is going to be a problem.
If you stick to basic HTML tags then you should be ok though.

Why do you want to get your site working on Netscape 2? Have you discovered some "Lost World" of users permanently trapped in 1996?
Oh well, you can download all sorts of ancient Netscapes from and try it out yourself. As long as your site doesn't rely on Javascript or Java to work, it should be readable in any browser - even if it doesn't look as pretty as it would in a modern one.

I was also wondering where you found this undiscovered seem of NS2 users?
Are they per chance like those Japanese Soldiers found from time to time still fighting WW2?

Either tech museum, time capsule or wormhole in a neighborhood...
Downgrade everything to HTML 2.01 or something, no CSS, pretty much no frames/javascript/EMBED objects, don't use complex table layouts (AFAIK all Navigators had problems with that).
Or maybe Mozilla suite went from 1.7 to 2.0? (check... no it wasn't).

vongrunt, NS2's a bit more capable than you think. According to :
So it should cope with simple Java(script), will handle frames, and shouldn't have problems with tables as long as you remember your </td> and </tr> tags. It will completely ignore any CSS, but that's probably better than the mangling NS4.7's buggy implementation can give to style sheets.

You may notice I said "pretty much" about frames/JS/objects - these features worked but with some historical limitations and annoying problems. Frameset history and printing was buggy, NS DOM definitely wasn't W3C DOM, applets crashed every once in a while etc. I wasn't sure about max. HTML version though.
Prior to Mozilla project, table rendering/calculation algorithms were always Netscape's weak spot... IMO.

That wouldn't be considered an upgrade more of a ENLIGHTMENT into the 21st century.
Next thing they'll ask you is to see if you could fix that nasty problem about the two digits and the year 2000.
What kind of computers were they using, x386?
Wow, just wow.....
