I've seen problems where the code validation shows things that I changed
several saves ago.  There's a similar problem with DWs link checking.  It
often logs old errors.

Subject: Inane Code Validation

definition of inane: 'lacking sense or substance'

A client has downloaded their CF site. As it is, the CF server does not
throw any errors on any of the pages from the site. However, the client has
dreamweaver and they have run code validation on it. They are concerned with
all of the errors that the dreamweaver code validation is showing. I have
said that the code validation is not perfect and it shows errors when there
really isn't.

I don't bother with dreamweaver. I just like  plain HomeSite. Out of
curiousity, I just checked a few pages with the code validation in HomeSite
and it's showing  up with errors that are not really there like 'cfhtp tag
is missing optional closing tag', 'there is a missing <td> tag' - I check
and there really isn't. I have some conditional <cfif> code in <input> tag
and it's throwing up an error that it's not a valid attribute - I'm expiring
a cookie with 'now' and the error says it's missing the value  attribute -
and on and on like that.

What is your take code validation? What do I say when the client wants code
that passes the code validation test?

Sebastian
