Clean up your HTML, with an Open Source Editor.

MS FrontPage, Word, or another HTML Editor make your code ugly?
Try tsWebEditor, to strip proprietary tags, line break characters, and neatly align your code.

It also includes the first Windows GUI-based version of Tidy, which will offer suggestions for making your code W3C compliant, and will even fix the mess Word leaves behind. Tidy has been a Linux program for quite some time, nice to see a port to Windows.

An introduction to HTML Tidy, (Included in tsWebEditor) from the W3C page.

Recently I've been playing with an online validator here:

It's amazing how sloppy one's code can be and still work.

I've been using the W3C Validator, located at http://validator.w3.org/, but I like the one Randy posted MUCH better. Traps a lot of errors the W3C Validator misses. Thanks, Randy!

The W3C also has a CSS Validator, located at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
