    I'd download the HTML Tidy client instead:
    http://tidy.sourceforge.net/#binaries

    Incidentally, I'm not seeing any line numbers on the W3's validator.

    I've never used HTMLTidy, is it any good?

    you type in the page you want checked
    it will point out the mistakes
    repair the html code
    the problem i got was when I copied the repaired code the number beside each line was being copied aswell

    example
    401.<td class="alt2" colspan="2">01-08, 12:33</td>
    402.</tr>
    403.<tr>

    I'd suggest getting a html editor that displays line numbers instead of cutting and pasting. Then again, can you not just delete the numbers you're copying across?

    It doesn't show you the numbers if you use the tidy feature. test

    It shows you the numbers if you are using the 'show source', but you scroll down to where it says 'Cleaned-up Source Listing with "Tidy"'.

    Never used the tidy, does it fix the problems or can it throw up new problems? Handy feature.
