There's many things that aren't valid in these HTML pages.  I could jump to
the defend of all programs featured here, but no use - the approach he used
is probably 'when someone would just open the program for the first time and
try to make a page, this would happen'.  I can see from the code he didn't
use the programs the way they should be used.  Especially GoLive and
FrontPage would score a lot better than they do now, but it does require you
to know the ins and outs of the programs...

proprietary charset code in FP
div withing table in DW
<./td> on new line in DW
p withing table in FP
...

If you know your program well, there no way it would all get so messed up.
