What I have been doing is to use the HTML Validation Service at
http://validator.w3.org/ to validate my php pages. I put some HTML comments
in the file to make it easier to find the eroneous code. I also select the
"Show Source Input" option so I can see the HTML and spots the errors
better.

I would recommend you to copy the source from the browser and use for
example Dreamweaver or homesite to
validate and clean up the code for you. That works fast and you will see
what is worng with youre tag.
However the most common problem with netscape and sometimes IE is that the
tags do not match eatchother
If you have a line liek this it is right
<Font class="green"><b/>Some text</b></font>
This is wrong:
<Font class="green"><b/>Some text</font></b>
Here the code will be wrongly validated in NS but it will work in IE.
If you do this inside and form or and table you will get bigger problems.
Hope i explained it right!!!
