I'll be sure to do some final checks with the W3C validator uploading new code to my live server. Thanks for the tip Gary.

So I take it as a great heads-up guide whilst i'm doing development but then I do a final check with the w3c validator.

I guess that it's hard to make a business case for. As long as a site looks good in IE6 and Firefox, that's enough for many people. When new browsers like IE7 hit the market, my sites shouldn't need many changes. And some of the most important visitors to a site are robots, not people - I think they'll find valid markup easier to understand.

Carsurvey is one of the few sites I've seen that gets a green tick btw. Cool. Carsurvey is one of the few sites I’ve seen that gets a green tick btw.
