Comparison Chart
My laughing friend had a point.
What I've mustered here for you is not so much a fix for producing squeaky-clean HTML as a list of pretty good stain removers. I've put together a chart to round up and organize my findings. I tested results in three browsers I had hanging around: Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 4.7, and Firefox 1.0. Keep in mind that I tested only one file for this article, and your experiences could vary from mine. Because each of these options gives you the chance to try the application for free, take advantage of any that you think will work in your circumstances.
And, in the words of my colleague as he lay on the tile, "Good luck!"
