Re: Why validate

 

Hi,

Validating and correcting all issues in the basic sources (html and css)
makes troubleshooting other issues much easier.

And I agree - you can learn a LOT from corrections.

Also as browsers advance the sites I have built long ago that were totally valid html 
have managed to stay readable and stable much longer than sites in which
I got a way with "fudging things" a bit to make it look pretty in a hurry.
 
Often my most infuriating design conflicts have been the result of a silly error.

On many coding support forums for scripts and other applications
the group will not even begin to assist you if you have not validated your site.
