I did a search for this topic, and there wasn’t really any applicable entries. I’m using the latest ver. of Notepad++. I’ve looked for any error detection, or debugging features, but don’t see any. Any suggestions?

IMHO the W3C validation services are the “best”

Personally, I’m a fan of FireBug. It’s the best debugger I’ve used, so far.
There is a Chrome version of it, but it seriously lacks the original plugin features. Best to use the FireFox plugin.
Just MHO,

Mitteneague, thank you very much. Thanks also to you Wolfshade, I DO have Firebug, and a BUNCH of other Firebug exts., but I thought that was specifically for JavaScript. Am I mistaken?
Depends on how old of a plugin you’re using. The current one shows debugging for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XHR, Images, plugins, Media, fonts, there’s a Net tab, a tab for cookies. I don’t use everything, but it works great when troubleshooting ColdFusion, HTML, and JavaScript.
AND, if you have an application or site that uses AJaX for submitting forms, it can also show you what is being returned, even if you’re not displaying the returning data.
V/r,
TBH the Firebug plugin seriously sucks ccompared to Chromes HTML/CSS debugger (dunno about the JS debugging capabilities), but I honestly can’t debug in FF. It’s just too poor. Chrome is by far the best, IMO.
Talking purely about HTML/CSS debugging

And I find the opposite - maybe because I’m used to Firebug. I don’t like using the Chrome tools at all.

Ryan,
Can you pls give me the exact name of the extension for Chrome HTML? I looked under all the Chrome extensions for HTML/CSS debuggers, as well as just HTML debuggers. Just to clarify, I use the latest ver. of Notepad++. I have the FF Firebug, and most, if not all of the extra extensions that go along with it.
Thanks,

My assumption could be wrong, but I think he meant the native, built-in F12 debugger that is part of the Chrome browser from the get-go.
V/r,
I think so too. All browsers now have a debugger built in. Firefox was the last to do so (lagging behind all the others as usual).
