Missing Alt Text Creates a report listing all the img tags that don’t have alternate text.
Alternate text appears in place of images for text-only browsers or for browsers that have been set to download
images manually. Screen readers read alternate text, and some browsers display alternate text when the user mouses
over the image.
Redundant Nested Tags Creates a report detailing nested tags that should be cleaned up.
For example, <i> The rain <i> in</i> Spain stays mainly in the plain</i> is reported.
Removable Empty Tags Creates a report detailing all empty tags that can be removed to clean up the HTML code.
For example, you may have deleted an item or image in Code view, but left behind the tags that applied to that item.
Untitled Documents Creates a report listing all the untitled documents found within the selected parameters.
Dreamweaver reports all documents with default titles, multiple title tags, or missing title tags.

• Click the column heading you want to sort results by.
You can sort by filename, line number, or description. You can also run several different reports and keep the
different reports open.
• Select any line in the report, then click the More Info button on the left side of the Site Reports panel for a
description of the problem.
• Double-click any line in the report to view the corresponding code in the Document window.

3 Click Save Report to save the report.
When you save a report, you can import it into an existing template file. You can then import the file into a database
or spreadsheet and print it, or use the file to display the report on a website.
After running HTML reports, use the Clean Up HTML command to correct any HTML errors the reports listed.
