What is a browser self-healing process??
In IE they have code that allow IE to guess at missing tags in html code.
suppose you you have a line you forget the opening closing tag lets give
as example<head> </head> say you leave off by accident the<head> but
it finds the</head> Ie will assume where the beginning of the line
should be and supply it. it will over look spellings. In other words you
can either a careless coder, a 5 year old, child, or a Monkey to design
a website. As long as some semblance of correct code can be found IE
will supply the missing information. That way. it doesn't make any
difference how the code is written or has obivous errors IE over look
the error.
Where the proper way should be if so mus as a missing<, / [, } missing
the site should bomb is should show anything. And won't show anything
until every period space, characters are in the proper place.
tidy.exe available from W3C is a small executable that will fix some
small errors in CSS, HTML, and XHTML. And tell you about errors it
can't fix and warn you of possible problems.

Yes I have the tidy extension. both in SM and FF.
That's how I know my own ISP site has some errors. most due to missing
alt information.
even my own site has three errors on the entire site. 1 due to having a
"small" flash slide show, which I have a button to click to start.
two as a result of adding audio file with a Player that you can choose
to start your self rather than auto play. one I used embed. the other I
used object tag. both errors are because. of the not allowing auto
Play. I hate, hate, hate, websites that have music that starts playing
by the time it loads. I prefer to have a console where you click to
start. That way if you want to listen to it fine if not fine.
I'd love for the standards to allow for audio console but currently not.
