Subject: RE: Home Page Construction
After seeing this thread I created a couple of HTML pages with numerous
HTML
errors (missing and misplaced tags) and then used a current build of IE
5 to
'Analyze' the page (right click on page, Properties, Analyze). I
couldn't
create a page that would give me anything different than a "No errors
found." message.
I'll do some snooping with the product group and see if I can find out
what
the deal is. Sounds pretty broken to me.
Thanks,
Nathan
