SM/FF have HTML Validator extension. I had to hack it for SM2 2.0/2.1 but it works well. It's amazing how few sites pass validation, especially from the big players. Wikipedia and most Mozilla sites are a happy exception. I am not a web developer, but my simple site passes validation, and I just cannot fathom why web developers do not have enough pride in their work to fix the bugs. I mean, really, it's so easy to do. -- David Wilkinson _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
