I asked this question on the Dreamweaver site and despite adding a
second post it still lies dead in the water after several days with no
one caring to comment.

I have Dreamweaver 8 and it's set to validate XHTML 1.0 Transitional
but it misses lots of errors (compared to W3C validator)

For example (and this is only on one page) it hasn't picked up my
erroneous use of more than one "id" element, and missed a "end tag
for "img" omitted but OMITTAG NO was specified". Plus it misses a
"required attribute "alt" not specified" and even an extra </div>
where a div was never opened

I've been relying on dreamweaver's validator which is why so many
mistakes have crept in as I've modified, checked an uploaded. I just
wondered if it was known that Dreamweavers validator is useless? It's
supposed to be a professional tool.
