Defendmyanme, CSS problem? (Dreamweaver's poor error checking!)

    Dreamweaver 8 is tells me there are a few errors/unsupported codes for Netscape but the only IE error being reported is the external css link:
    <link href="/templates/Original/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    Code (markup):
    I even tried formatting it as:
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/Original/stylesheet.css" />
    Code (markup):
    and that didn't clear the error. Not sure why Dreamweaver is telling me that this line is an error for IE. ???

    Actually, there is a bigger problem (although I am curious about the above query). I am finding that after many edits, there are many ophaned or unclosed HTML tags. This doesn't seem to affect the look in Dreamweaver or Firefox but it sure does affect how the page appears under IE 6 and 7.

    Often I will spend a lot of time going through the code looking for unclosed or useless tags. I wish Dreamweaver wasn't so messy, or at the very least, could check for such errors. Can anyone recommend a tool that can do this?


    Thank you,
