HTML Validation

I checked a free validator and found my conversion to CSS
was pretty sloppy--59 errors on the first page checked
alone! Yet my pages are showing up just fine in various web
browsers. Is it worth changing over 1000 pages to get the
code exactly right?

Thanks,
Steve H

What are the errors? Sometimes one error creates a number of other
errors so it might not be so bad fixing it.

I've found that it's pretty well impossible to get a FrontPage page to
validate if one is using themes and/or shared borders. I had to change
the offending code by hand and then FrontPage complained that it had
been altered.

Yes it's worth correcting because pages will load faster.
When a page contains html errors, it forces a browser to operate in "Quirks mode" because it has to
"parse" the errors to render the page.

When correcting html errors with a validator, correct one error at a time starting at the top of the
page, save and then revalidate.
Often correcting one error will eliminate others further down the page.

One error has to do with missing ALT tags, which I never
intended to put in there in the first place. (This is for
the HTML Transitional DOCTYPE.) That error happens
throughout the page. I don't understand the requirement to
include it.

Other (understandable) errors have to do with missing end tags.

Thanks for your responses on this.

That's a warning, not an error. It's intended to jog you into using alt
attributes (not tags) on your images.

Using the ALT attribute for your images helps make your site accessible to
the blind.
