Using WC3 markup validation, I can get my banner.htm file that
includes my logo, text title and drop down menu to validate with no
errors by doing a lot of clean-up to the F/P code. I am using nothing
but table format throughout. I am using:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
As soon as I do an "include" and insert the banner.htm into a page, FP
is generating code with 10 to 20 errors. Is it even possible to get FP
code to validate and/or is it worth the hassle? I keep reading that it
needs to validate, but the site has been up 8 months and I haven't had
a single complaint that it couldn't be viewed.

The FrontPage include webbot validates without problems - the problem
must lie with the page content.
If you use FrontPage navigation components the page will never
validate.

The only people that insist a page should validate are web designers -
eveyone else would like the page to display in their browsers, which
is much more important.
