I started our e-commerce website pages in 2001 using DW. Over the years we have added more and more products and pages. We are basically satisfied with our Google ratings but just recently I began reading WPN and now I am extremely worried about the future of our old code pages. Competitors with proper coding will eventually “run us out!”
I ran the validator.w3.org and I have 74 code errors, the first being NO DOCTYPE found. My old version of DW did not include the doctype. I tried the “loose DOCTYPE” suggested in a WPN forum, but the Validator did not like that either.
I copied my index.html into a newer version of DW MX which does have the DOCType included, being careful not to duplicate any of the Header, Meta Tag coding, and the Validator noted that it was not the right type of document.
Questions:
1. Should I sit back and say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” or should I begin the slow process of rewriting all my code?
2. If so, any suggestions for someone who is not a programmer and would prefer to use DW.
3. Is there an easy way to copy and paste my code into a new format?
Thanks to you who are experienced for helping me.
