Even better, to save Dave some time, go to www.w3c.org They have an html
validator there...it's strict, but that's the point...

Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: poor HTML syntax crashing (!) netscape
Yes Netscape will be a problem for poor code and MSIE will not. HTML is
very
straightforward like any other language, learn to write it properly and
it
will do nothing that surprises you. A requirement for proper syntax is a
good thing in your delivery method (the browser).
PHP will roll over and die if you leave a ';' off the end of a line, but
no
one claims it sucks. Don't shoot the messenger....
View the offending page in MSIE, save to file, send to me directly, and
I'll
be happy to take a look at it for you. We are a cross platform shop and
test
everything on MSIE/Netscape 4+ on Mac, Windows, and Unix/Linux every
day.
