Thanks Mike I will go and look into the config folder. Didn't know about that.
 
To others in the list sorry for keep asking about validation errors with XHTMl Strict. Feeling kind of embarrassed :/
 
Thanks to Andy and Martin, I roughly know what to do to make the page validates now except for FORMS!!!
 
Using my site as a test for strict before I work on client's site.
 
 
Here are some errors .there are more but they are repetitive errors. Am using dodomail (php) for my contact form. My ISP facing some problems with the CGI formmail but I will switch to it once it is resolved.

Yes, I use dreamweaver for all flavours of XHTML.  You can customise it by editing the template files if what you want isn�t in the preferences.  In a default installation on windows they�re in c:\program files\macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\configuration   you can use any text editor to change the default documents there, including the doctypes.

Also there�s a command to convert a document to xhtml and when you do the command menu changes from �clean up  html� to �clean up xhtml�.  Then it tidies up all the issues like lower case tags,  closing tags, correct nesting etc etc.  It�s not perfect but it�s pretty good.   Also when your document is xhtml it�ll fix your syntax as you write.  If you open a paragraph  tag, it�ll automatically close it too.  Same with li and td and tr tags.   Macromedia have done a LOT of work with the various standards interested parties to get these kinds of features into the product.   It�s by far the best version of dreamweaver ever.  I was a sceptic until I was forced to learn it to be compatible with a client�s setup and I�m totally sold on it.  I�ve let go of most of my other tools now.

Using MX 04. Actually really want to tweak it the way it generates the html codes. Like if I am working with strict then I can tweak it to generate the html the way I want for xhtml strict.

 

Hmm maybe dreamweaver can't be customised that way. Sounds rather far-fetch.
