Will it show them what is not valid? Yes. Will it straighten out their pages for all browsers? No.

[buntine]

True.

[davidbrent]

Will they try to straighten it out and end up messing it up but still saying its valid becasue they saw the errors in a validator.... maybe?

[porterhouse]

Yeah; thats the problem.
Everybody says to use the validator but they do not guide you on how to fix the problem.
So who thinks they can remedy this situation?

Thanks,
Jack

Well basically you go through each of the errors. Look at an explanation and if you don't know how to do something. post a question in the General forum.

Best Wishes,
David

I can make your site as cross browser as possible for you if you want, if you don't mind paying me a lot of money. All I'm willing to do otherwise is take a look at your site and suggest a few things that can be done to make it better.

But like I told you on the phone, it can't be valid with a marquee tag, because that is no longer html, it has been deprecated.
