That, I suppose, would depend on your definition of clean HTML.
True. I was mostly comparing it to the hatchet job many visual editors do to the HTML as well as to the "clean" HTML that can be created by hand coding. That is to say, DW does a descent job at formatting and doesn't add a bunch of unnecessary junk to the code it creates through the visual editor.
Transitional, if you are careful and do NOT use anything that inserts <font> then maybe 4.0 strict, XHTML is out of the question. Now I have no proof that by adding a DOCTYPE that the DW markup would validate even to HTML3.2, but I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Sure, you still have to know which features to use and which ones not to in order to get strictly valid documents. DW does have a validation feature to run your document through various standards, though I don't know how good it is and I suspect not many people use it or care what it says. Most importantly, DW doesn't hack up my ZPT or DTML markup. _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.
