What programs do any of you use to remove extra un-needed html codes for your web page coding?

Thank in advance for any recommendations.

Dreamweaver has a feature where it checks your code. But to be honest, I never use it since I make sure my code is tight from the start.

I have frontpage and it seems to always leave in extra codes. I wish I had time to check all the codes by hand but I don't so I need to find something else. I am checking out CSE html.

I'm sure you could find someone to do it for you for a small price.

I use something like Notepad. It's slower, but better, because I have to think about what it is I'm trying to do. I just don't trust a program to know what I intended and what I didn't.

I've tried HTMLTrim but it did strange things with the page created with Front Page.
I prefer the manual way like NotePad too.

It did nothing 'strange', it probably did what it was supposed to do -- strip out FP's proprietary garbage.

I agree with you that FP generates alot of garbage that I hate. But what I meant with strange that the web pages looked bad when I used it, it used to look good in fire fox and IE. btw I always check my site in Fire Fox before IE as you said in your posts because I completely agree with you it's the right way.

Yeah I know it sounds stupid, but I definitely use Notepad or WordPad if I'm looking to strip out unnecessary code.

Just use the search and replace (leaving the replace field blank will of course zap whatever you're searching for). I love doing that for font tags.

If you don't put it there in the first place then you never need to remove anything

HTML Validator, but it will be best if you do it manually.

I use a free program called html-kit. it's very good but not wysiwyg though, it's something in the middle between notepad and front page, and you can use tidy from it too.

Thanks, I will check it out. notepage is fine. I know html codes. I just need something to help me find them. Takes to look to read all the codes line by line myself.

You can avoid the cleaning problems by not using programs such as dreamweaver etc. Just use notepad, (or wordpad ++) and then just forget about having to clean the code because you will only have written what is needed and nothing more.

OF course, if you use blogger or other automated programs, you will not have this option, and the time saved in writing the complex code needed for such sites is well worth the independence and possible "dirty code"

If I had time to write codes I would use a notepad, which I use to do back in 98 & 99 when I opened my business but now days there is not time. My site has to be plug and play templates. It is the only way to keep up.

But thanks for the input
