In order to obtain a valid and accessible HTML page, please note the following when creating a page (among other things):

• Relative specifications regarding width and height for tables.
• Specification of the attribute alt="..." for img=
• Anchor begin with a letter, not a number.
• No linking of the word "here" or other meaningless words.

The free software Web Developer is available for Firefox, for example.
With its help you can check whether your page ...

1. is written in valid HTML (Tools -> Check HTML)
2. is accessible (Tools -> Check accessibility) before you publish it/make it visible externally
3. has dead links (Tools -> W3C Link Checker).

The free software "Xenu's Link Sleuth" is also suitable for finding dead links. Xenu is not linked to any browser, easy to install, easy to use, fast.
