validate, validate, validate!

HTML/XTML Web Development

I have been working on a project for a few months that has been touched by many developers at various points in time. It is my job to optimize the code, ensure it works in multiple browsers, and then test new functionality. This is a huge project with tens of thousands lines of code. I recently got stuck on one issue that I could not figure out at all…so I finally decided to run everything through the W3C validators, and as soon as I did, I realized I should have done this as soon as I started on the project, then every x weeks.
I know I have said it before, but I will say it again. If you are working on a project and ever get stuck on something, validate your code.
