But most people creating a page with Front Page, will view it with Internet Explorer, rather than putting it onto the web there and then. It is that viewing with IE that constitutes their validation of the page - i.e. they are validating that it works with their favourite browser. They may also "validate" with Netscape to get about 90% coverage of users.
