As far as validating before the page runs through the server, I am not sure thats possible only because you can write non xhtml on the file with cf, and it would be hard to not parse the cf (I dont think that is what you are after anyway)
If you dont mind browsing to each page, FireFox has a tool to validate pages as you view them. Its really cool and I highly recommend it. To get it, click on Tools>Extensions. On the bottom right click on more extensions. It'll lauch you to a listing - and on the left is "developer tools" they have one called Html Validator (with Tidy) 0.3.1 By Marc Gueury Adds HTML validation to the View Page Source of the browser. The validation is done by Tidy from W3c. (Windows version) That will tell you all the problems when you "view source" on a page Cheers, Rob On Fri, 10 Dec 2004 14:55:37 -0500, Robyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm tasked with bringing our codebase up to XHTML standards, and have a > question about how best to do this.
