It is terribly daunting at first, as I can personally testify, but perseverance brings it's own rewards.....honestly....:headbang::dance: Oh, by the way, what do you think of AceHtml? I downloaded it ages ago, but never actually got round to using it, as I subsequently discovered HTML-Kit. Can it clean up your code for you? Say you have an old page that you want to convert, and you want to strip out all the formatting tags to put them into a stylesheet. Will it do that? Dreamweaver is pretty good for that sort of stuff, I must admit. Exactly, Kerry.

It is a whole lot easier to validate than with old-fashioned sites. I had to completely re-code JWG last year, as all the old stuff would never have validated in a month of sundays.:sad: It may be easier to start again with a simple css layout, and just copy and paste your content in after removing all font tags etc. I actually used Dreamweaver to strip out all the formatting from the content that I wanted to move. I will check whether any free editors also do this, if you havent got Dreamweaver. I dont actually use Dreamweaver anymore now myself, as I am much taken with HTML-Kit, a free editor. If that will do the job, you can download it here: <a href="http://www.chami.com/html-kit/" title="HTML-Kit" rel="nofollow">HTML-Kit</a> Scroll down for the download link in the left column. PS: When validating, start at the first error that appears, and fix that. Many others that follow will be linked to that, and should disappear as well. Keep going until all errors go. Also, tell the validator to show source, ( it arrives at the bottom of the page). That way, you can track down the problems, line by line. Very often, dozens of errors can be fixed by simply adding a forgotten close tag, or something equally simple.:confused: I’ll move it for you :wink:
