Re: Fixing Dirt Filthy Front Page Code

Gazing into my crystal ball I observed "Steve Horrillo"

Al the website's in my sig were designed with Front Page. When I use
Front Pages error check it's showing me dozens of errors. I'm not
blaming FP being that I did a lot of moving things around and changing
fonts. But please take a look at the source for say,
www.brokeragenttraing.com or www.over100percent.com. It amazes me it
even works. The extra tags are just over the top! Is there any quick
way to clean up this awful code? I remember Jimco had some utilities
for that but will it work on a mess like I have?

First, get rid of Front Page, or at least stop using it for markup. You
can use it for site management.

Second, get yourself a good plain text editor. I can recommend HTML-Kit,
because it has many plugins available, it's free, and it comes with HTML-
Tidy, a linter that will clean up your mess. <http://www.chami.com/html-

with HTML-Kit, for CSS <http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/download/>.
