The W3C validators are definitely more accurate - although not flawless. You're not designing _for_ DW -- only _in_ it, so forget _its_ "errors". > I'm sorry, I know my code is a mess and needs cleaning up. I'm just a > bit intimidated about where to start. Any advice welcome. If you can set up HTMLTidy so it actually works, then it will make wonders cleaning up your source-code. Think Tidy has only really missed 1 error - regarding Microsoft's downlevel 'conditional comment' (which is *not* valid) - for the 3 years I have used it. However, Tidy is most often made useless by default when incorporated in HTML-editors, so you'll have to set it up yourself, for your use and choice of DocType. Also, and *very* important: HTMLTidy can *not* correct what it doesn't understand, and it can *not* make badly designed layouts work. Usually not a problem. Some online versions and sources... <http://valet.htmlhelp.com/tidy/> <http://infohound.net/tidy/> <http://tidy.sourceforge.net/> ...and my own comments on Tidy (and editors)... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_07.html> ...that maybe aren't so relevant since I write "manually" in accordance with XHTML DocTypes. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
