Yikes! Looks like someone was using FrontPage, huh? Dirty code makes me feel dirty (and not in a good way), and I can't stand it either. Lately, I find myself constantly validating my local code, and I'm also really getting into using \n and \t more and more. I hate looking at my parsed code and things like ul's not being lined up all pretty.

Chad, I agree.

I love using new lines (\n) and tabs (\t), as well. I like viewing the source and seeing nice, clean, structured code.

God, was FrontPage a disaster, or what?

At least Macromedia is serious about Web Standards. I don't use Dreamweaver, since it's too slow - but the code it produces is top-notch.

One of the web sites I am currently converting to XHTML/CSS has some major markup issues, that are too nasty not to share.
