Will GoClick files validate to the HTML 4.0 specification?

GoClick will produce HTML that conforms exactly to the HTML 4.0 specification, if you want it to. You simply need to adjust the conversion settings. But our research has shown that a strict conformance to the HTML 4.0 specification produces inconsistent web pages across different browsers. Therefore, GoClick’s default settings deviate slightly from the specification (by using the nonstandard but widely supported tag) to preserve a document’s appearance across browsers and platforms. The conversion option to produce GoLive’s GRID Tables also uses nonstandard table attributes. An HTML validator will complain about these attributes, but GoClick still provides this option to support Adobe GoLive users. None of the GoLive GRID attributes affect how a document appears in a browser.
