To halt a site validation in process, click the Stop button on the Validation panel.
n Settings: Displays the Validation category in Preferences
Part of the power of Dreamweaver??™s Validation feature comes from its extensive options. To get
a full overview of all your options, see Chapter 4.
To validate a page, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Validation options you want are set in Preferences. If not, click the Validate button
and choose Settings.
If you validate CFML (ColdFusion) and HTML in the same document, the Validator won??™t be
able to assess the number sign (#) correctly. Why not? Because, in CFML, # is an error and ##
is correct; in HTML, the converse is true: ## is an error and # is correct.
2. Select Validate and then Validate Current Document. Dreamweaver??™s validation engine goes
through the entire page and displays any errors, warnings, and other messages in the Validation
panel.
3. To correct an error, double-click the entry. Dreamweaver highlights the offending tag in Code
view, where you can make any modifications necessary.
4. Select More Info to see additional details, if available, about the current error.
5. To store the results of the validation as an XML file, select Save Report and enter the name for the
file.
