HTML Tool?

    Is there anything where we could check our web pages for errors and something that could automatically detect and repair HTMl code errors?

    I use since many years Quanta Plus
    Quanta Plus has code validation as well as link check built in among many other features

    Isn't there anything that I can download which would automatically detect and repair the broken/corrupt/false code?

    NO as far as I know
    BUT
    the good news is - human brian has infinite potential to learn all and much better than any tool
    i guess most of the older www vets who started last millenium had to learn all from scratch without even a hint from anyone nor any forum

    to learn all the basics is easy - just give yourslef a few months and learn each day. the more simple your pages the easier you can fix
    best have pages you created yourself then you know the code and stay within what you understand when you expand your site and create new pages.

    automated full repair finally could lead to disaster and mess up your pages even more

    quanta plus for example tells you very much where and what th eproblems are
    you have to know the solutions hwoever
    w3 validator also gives you hints about the errors and links to possible definitions where you can LEARN to correct

    http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
    has some very fine tutorials - but some of them create wrong code ...!!

    sooner or later you may have to learn all on oyur own anyway - better start sooner than later. the sooner you learn the sooner you get successful in www business

    tks for the tip

    I could have used tidy some 5-7 years ago when i had ot clean up by hand using quanta the mess created with various html generators of rmy early pages.
    since then I use quanta and all code is always clean unless i manually create a bug.

    i may run tidy on my forum static pages - since that code is created by a commercial license SW and that SW creates a horrible html code

    There is nothing like which would automatically repairs the error but it can detect errors. if you use dreamweaver, it has this validation function, you can test it for various browsers and also check for html errors. another thing is validator.w3.org

    Actually, there is a system that will identify coding errors and automatically repair them, but you have to be careful using it.

    The W3C Validator, IMO, is completely worthless in regards to telling you "how to fix the errors" ... personally, I wouldn't use DreamWeaver, nor MicroSTOOPID FrontPage as HTML Editors, but that's a whole different issue.
