I am not really 100% sure what the differency is between Tidy and W3C’s online validator. W3C (Dave Raggett ) is the “daddy” of Tidy so they must be about the same thing.

I dont have Tidy installed here at work. I’ll have to try it. But its not the same as a validation with validator.w3.org right?

About the warnings and errors. I use the Tidy extension for Firefor, I get “live” validation on the pages I visit, that is where I got my numbers from.

I tried the speak synthesizer and what was read back to me was the following: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nullam in nibh at purus ultrices ornare. Maecenas consectetuer magna sed neque. Phasellus adipiscing. Vivamus eleifend.

It is a template for a newsitem that is within comment brackets and not what I had marked. Strange.

How do you tell the difference between warnings and errors in the validator?
