My problem is that I know very little about HTML and so I thought this would be an ideal tool for me to use. However, as far as I can see, Deep Trawl only indicates the "errors" but does nothing to help someone like me actually fix them, or am I missing something? For example, I'm getting loads of messages showing that gif images are invalid. How do I make them valid? It certainly does nothing for my confidence in the program to find this message when I click on the Info Option for an 'Incorrectly' spelled word: Incorrectly spelled word: website (x2) Found by search type titled: Check spelling The word: website was spelled incorrectly. Spelleing suggestions can be viewed by pressing "View in Editor", then pressing "Suggest" next to the problem. First, what's wrong with the word 'website'? Yes, I know it can be split into two words, but this word is in common everyday use. Second, I can not believe that they misspelled the word 'spelling' in the second last line on the error message. Check it out for yourselves if you have a spelling error highlighted. Someone at Deep Trawl must be very embarrassed over that one. Incidentally, when I followed the above instructions, none of their 'suggestions' had anything to do with a website. They even suggested the word 'embitter', wherever that comes from! It makes me think that they are using some sort of dictionary database that was compiled before the Internet was ever dreamed of. So basically, I'm not too impressed and thankfully, did not waste $49 on it. If I had, I certainly would have felt embittered!
