Today, I started using Firefox3 to manage my localhost site.  Everything worked the same and appeared that the new page worked properly.  I then tested the search capability.  My new page was corrupt.  When I looked, it was corrupt.  After building it in IE7, everything is correct.  Then, I did the following steps as a test to verify that I have a problem using Firefox3.

In Word 2007, created one line with Hello World.  In IE7, edited new html content.  Used Word Paste.  Here is the source it generated.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Hello World</span></div>

Repeated the same steps in Firefox3.  Here is the source it generated.  Remember, I do use Word Paste.

Since I am running currently on localhost, I am not able to directly test the w3c validator.  I am currently waiting on my shared hosting company to get everything in place so I can put MojoPortal on my shared host.

If I just take a plain aspx page on my current shared host and copy the Source from from fckeditor into the aspx page.  Then, run w3c validator, will this confirm if I am getting valid pages via the Word Paste?

I used the validator on my pages that I used Word Paste.  The four pages I tried all came back with Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.  Some pages also had images.  For these, I pasted from Word, inserted the images, and then pasted from Word.  I am happy that Word Paste is doing a good job.  It sure makes it easy for me to maintain my color coding of the code samples.
