Is there some >automatic way of getting all those errors repaired? that's really hard because any such tool would have to guess about what's wrong. however, i suggest that it's not as bad as it seems; these sorts of errors tend to snowball. start at the top, fix a couple and revalidate. occasionally you'll see something that can be fixed with a global replace, a simple sed script, or the like. "602 errors" can easily be caused by an order of magnitude fewer actual problems. also, what are you validating to? i'd suggest that if you're doing this sort of cleanup, you should look at html 4.01 or xhtml 1.0 as your target. writing strict xhtml 1.0 that works in older browsers takes a little care, but it's not outrageously difficult. richard
