Hey's this one's cute.  I even had some fun with 80% of my documents =
where
it found no problems at all.  Much faster and much more conventient =
than the
W3 online validator.  Sorry to say, they really should have an offline
version and better reporting.

By the way... going through the pages, I suddenly found an error where =
I
didn't expect it, and have a question, regarding the form tag.

You all know there's this form issue where you can't have a form end
immediately after the last button (it has a default space at the =
bottom.  I
solve this by doing this one:

<.table>
<.tr>
<.form>
<.td>

input types

<./td>
<./form>
<./tr>
<./table>

So really the form tags in the borders of a table.  I presume this can =
be
solved with CSS?  Anyone has it lying on the tip?

Try CSE's HTMLValidator (http://www.htmlvalidator.com).  It will not =

find all missing ALT attributes but also other HTML syntax errors like=20
improperly nested tags and any other invalid markup.  It's not as =
stringent=20
as the W3C Validating services but it's highly customizable and its =
error=20
messages are often less cryptic.  As far as client side HTML checkers =

it is the best there is and integrates well with a variety of HTML =
editors=20
including HomeSite and NoteTab Pro.

HTH!
