    W3's Tidy. Either run from the command line (my preference in Linux) or a gui in Windows (Windows's cli is a total PITA compared to a good shell, so I use the gui). There is also a Tidy extension for Firefox which will show errors in the viewed document and fix all but the worst errors, while creating a sane indention format; all at the click of a mouse button.

    cheers,

    Tut tut, if you correct it by hand, you won't make any mistakes next time!

    I agree, you should correct things by hand to see what you're doing wrong or how you could improve. If you car corrected every mistake you made driving could you truly say you could drive?

    If you want to discover your mistakes to correct by hand, you can use the w3c validator tool

    kk5st: Thanks for the w3 tidy link, but the mozilla addon url is broken

    Yeah, my bad. That's a dynamically built page and doesn't exist except as a search response. If anyone tries to follow the link, the 404 page has a search box; enter html tidy.

    cheers,
