debugging an html document is now fun

Karl,

Larry called my attention a while ago to the fact that edbrowse does not 
render my download web site correctly, as does lynx and perhaps other 
browsers. I decided to try to narrow down the problem a bit before 
asking for help with it, and what I discovered is that my index.html 
file was full of various stupidities that have crept in over recent 
months and years. 

Edbrowse would not tolerate those stupidities, although other browsers 
evidently accommodated to them in one fashion or another. I used 
edbrowse to correct my errors, thanks to the helpful diagnostic error 
messages it reports. Switching back and forth between browse mode and 
raw mode was an enormous convenience, which I had not appreciated 
before. 

I think it is a good idea that edbrowse is strict about html code, 
although I expect there are a lot of buggy sources to cope with out 
there. 

Thanks again for a great tool.

Chuck
