I've used DW for about 5 years but just started doing XHTML - don't seem to have
problems validating to transitional for my purposes. I used to handcode but that's
just not on when looking after thousands of pages and online modules.
- Can set DW to convert pages to XHTML
- Run the clean up XHTML command
- validate in the program itself as strict /transitional etc
- apparently you can fiddle with doctypes yourself if need be (the default inserts the
xml prologue but there is an extension that removes this on save so that's easily
taken care of
As I said, I validate all my pages and my CSS
