Not sure what 'validate' means in that context (might be a good chance for you to ask a follow up question on what he/she means on html validation?)

Anyway, I am assuming that they are talking about HTML markup validation then there are online services like:

If the interviewer is talking about validation in terms of client-side validation (eg user age must contain range between X to Yetc), then you might need to validate the input on the server (eg with server side code).

Form validation must always be performed server-side. Client side validation is great, but optional. Surely this is what the interviewer was looking for.

You can refer one of the example from How to validate html for input without using javascript.

Javascript is the only way to validate the data on the client side before it is submitted. Since Javascript can be disabled, your server-side code should always validate any submitted data before using it.
