Code validation

When opening a document in Code view, Adobe Dreamweaver automatically validates that the document is not using any tags, attributes, CSS properties, or CSS values that are not available in the target browsers that the user selected. Adobe Dreamweaver underlines errors with a wavy red line.

Adobe Dreamweaver stores browser profiles in the Browser Profile folder inside the Adobe Dreamweaver Configuration folder. Each browser profile is defined as a text file that is named for the browser. For example, the browser profile for Internet Explorer version 6.0 is Internet_Explorer_6.0.txt. To support target browser checking for CSS, Adobe Dreamweaver stores CSS profile information for a browser in an XML file whose name corresponds to the browser profile but with a suffix of _CSS.xml. For example, the CSS profile for Internet Explorer 6.0 is Internet_Explorer_6.0_CSS.xml. You might want to make changes to a CSS profile file if you find that Adobe Dreamweaver is reporting an error that you do not want.

The CSS profile file consists of three XML tags: css-support, property, and value. The following sections describe these tags.
