To view a target browser check report in a browser:
•
Click the Browse Report button in the Target Browser Check panel.
To fix an error:
•
Remove the unsupported code, or change it to other code that's supported by your
target browsers.
To specify that Dreamweaver should ignore a particular type of error:
•
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) red-underlined code, and select Ignore
Error from the context menu.
That type of error is changed to a warning, and Dreamweaver stops underlining that type of error
in all documents.

Validating your tags

You can use Dreamweaver to find out if your code has tag or syntax errors. Dreamweaver can
validate documents in many languages, including HTML, XHTML, ColdFusion Markup
Language (CFML), JavaServer Pages (JSP), Wireless Markup Language (WML), and XML.
Note: For information on how to validate your document for accessibility, see
on page 111.
You can validate the current document or a selected tag.
To validate your tags:
Do one of the following:
1
For an XML (or XHTML) file, select File > Check Page > Validate as XML.
Otherwise, select File > Check Page > Validate Markup.
The Validation tab of the Results panel either displays a "No errors or warnings" message or
lists the syntax errors it found.
Double-click an error message to highlight the error in the document.
2
To save the report as an XML file, click the Save Report button.
3
To view the report in your primary browser (which lets you print the report), click the Browse
4
Report button.
You can set preferences for the Validator, such as specifying the tag-based languages against which
the Validator should check, the specific problems that the Validator should check for, and the
types of errors that the Validator should report. For more information, see
