Need help validating html using validator.w3.org

I have been trying to validate HTML code on my blog. So I went to use The W3C Markup Validation Service. And since I really dont know how to fix the stated errors. I used the Validate by Direct Input option which basically you can copy your file from your theme and paste it there and then it will give you all the errors and it will also generate a valid code for the same file.

So, I started going through my files one by one. But the fully thing is when I take the actual "validated" file that it has given me and paste it back to check for validation, it gives me (sometimes) even more errors than my original file?....


Does anyone know whats up with that? Am I missing something? Also is there any easy way to fix the errors? ...

Thank you all in advance.

    You should select 'Validate File by Upload' option and browse to your file and check for errors. Service will reply you with each html error found. then you should correct the listed errors one by one and repeat this process until you get the error free validated html.

      Thank you. But the whole reason I am using the direct input option is because I am not very technical. So I wouldn't know how to edit those files if use the option you are talking about.

    I've never used W3C Markup Validation Service but I have a copy of Eclipse installed and it does a very good job validating and fixing bugs. Eclipse is free and it's a really powerful development environment but I only use it to format my html code. It automatically inserts missing tags, quotes attributes, and makes the html more readable by adding proper indentation. You can find out more about eclipse here: Eclipse - The Eclipse Foundation open source community website.

    You should install Web Developer Toolbar Add-on to validate HTML
