     Actually, that's very simple. In the box with the validation report, just 
double-click on the error message and the editor box will jump right to the 
line, and the error will be highlighted. However, you should be aware that the 
HomeSite validator is nowhere near as accurate or capable as the W3C's, or the 
program I mentioned previously, A Real Validator (that's why I use it). It will 
catch most of the big problems, but it is not in any way shape or form a true 
validator. That's why Allaire has builtin support for the CSE Validator. It's 
really the only thing wrong with HomeSite, that it has such a poor validator.
     BTW, about your apparent long line problem, just turn on the word-wrap 
feature on the toolbar running down the side of the editor window.
