Question
Okay... I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... LOL I'm so nervous about this website finally being finished and it finally going live that I'm getting a stomach ache and it's not even finished yet!
I was wondering about my closing/ending tags. I'm really getting lost in a sea of <div> <td> <tr> etc...
My question is, would Front Page be telling me if something didn't have an end tag or if anything didn't match up? Or is there a way to scan the pages for errors or something?
I'm hoping to share a link by Saturday night!
Thanks guys.
Debra
Answer
I don't think Front Page does that, at least the older version I have doesn't.
You can check your pages at http://www.w3schools.com/
Net Mechanic also lets you test up to 5 pages for free.

If you are using Frontpage it generates terrible code. That being said I use Frontpage and checked my code on one of those code checkers and I had pages of errors. I went into overload. Then I thought my website has been up since 1998 and my search engine results are great so I decided not to bother. Someone posted a link to a discussion on this topic and the opinion was the same as mine.

Thanks guys. Sorry it took me so long to come back... The good news is my site is finally up. I have NOT even checked it for errors, LOL! It just got to the point where I had to stop nit-picking and just get it up.
Now mind you, none of the search engines know it's there. But I've had friends and family check it and it seems to be working great.
I'll share the link in another thread and I hope you guys will check it out, I'm open to any and all feedback!
Thanks for the links. I will definitely check them out.
Mike I agree. Although, even though I used Front page, I mostly used split screen and did the code myself, LOL. The one thing that generated code for me was the galleries generated by Photoshop. I'm the code is horrendous from me editing it over and over to change the size, etc... ugh.
