Thanks very much. I'll certainly have a go at this.

Yes, I did in fact use the W3C validator as soon as I discovered the problem. I almost wish I hadn't--the code is a freakin' train wreck from a compliance standpoint.

Here's the thing: I didn't CHOSE to violate standards. I just relied on the authoring tool to comply. Admittedly, it was some years ago, and standards have evolved. I used Dreamweaver 4 for most of it.

If I upgraded to a newer version of Dreamweaver, would it create HTML that complied with W3C standards? I'd hate to keep using a tool that made pages newer browsers choked on.
