Last, but not least, I'm now validating my webpages at WDG HTML Validator. Why bother to validate HTML pages? Because "HTML validation allows authors to check their HTML syntax. Valid HTML is less likely to cause problems with different browsers and more likely to survive the next browser release." Quoted from http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/reasons.html
