First, forgive me for my noviceness at this! I'm totally new to anything related to SSI (among other things).

I'm working on a previously composed (by somebody else)website with server side includes.
This is my first time dealing with SSI and I have a couple of questions.

First, I'm trying to validate the page, but I'm getting all these errors that are actually fine, because the validator isn't recognizing the code in the includes. Have I not set up my local files correctly? Or do I need them to be on an actual test server for this to work? It doesn't seem to be aknowledging that there's an include in there with more code.

(For example, the SSI file ends with an open table which is then closed in the body of the shtml. When Dreamweaver tries to validate the shtml file, it dings the closing table tags because it doesn't see that here are actuall open table tags anywhere).
