    DW is not the best at providing valid markup. In any case, always use a modern browser, such as Firefox, to check your page. Never, ever use IE as a reference. It's 11 years behind all other browsers in modern standards and practices.

    Validation is to be used on every web page. It checks your html and css to make sure you have used proper syntax and that the elements are in the proper order. It does NOT guarantee your page will look as you want but, without proper validation/syntax, there is no guarantee there either.

    Basically, it's just a good idea to NOT use a WYSIWYG site creator, but instead use something like Notepad++ and code from scratch.

    The code will be much cleaner, and best of all, you'll have full control over every aspect of it.

    DW is not a tool to help understand the code.
