<p align=center>Validating HTML</p>
If you use an HTML editor for your Web projects, you may be missing out on one of the most useful functions of your software if you are not validating your HTML. Validation runs a program that sifts through your code and tells you where faulty HTML construction or syntax occurs. We find this very helpful for cross browser compatibility as some browsers may sputter if code is not totally clean. We suggest you run a validation on every page you code, just to be safe. For example, with AceHMTL, a popular editor, you choose "Syntax > Check Document" to validate your HTML.
While we're on the subject, remember that HTML editors are very powerful tools. Many people still code Web pages in Notepad, or other simple text editors. Why? Because HTML editors can be intimidating for the first-time user. But the rewards far outweigh the learning curve.
For example, you can search and replace code snippets, words, phrases or tags across entire websites with one click. Or add special characters without frustrating searches in books or on the Web. Or automate Meta Tag generation. Some editors even provide ready-to-run JavaScripts and Dynamic HTML code samples, spell checking and more.
