Most people who are familiar with html always switch to code view and double check what
they have done.
I always do, and I always will for the simple reason that I can usually detect errors
before they are published.
Even though FrontPage does an excellent job of correcting errors, some can always slip by
and will result in slow page loading, things not looking quite right, etc, etc.
You need to realize that a browser checks for and compensates for html errors. The only
way you will know it is when pages load slow, features are buggy and so on.
It's all part of learning html. I don't trust any WYSIWYG editor never have, never will,
and I have FP2002, FP2003, and Visual Studio installed on this machine. ( and quite often
with all 3 running at the same time )
Any editor tries to determine what the user is trying to do, and compensates as best it
can for simple user errors.
As a simple exercise, download and install CSE html validator lite version. Then go to
one of your favorite web sites, view source, save it to the desktop as an html file, open
in CSE and run the validation. You'll be amazed.
I've done it with CNN and emailed the CNN web master. ( who actually answered my email )
