Can an html editor find matching tags ?

[leegold2]

Is there an html editor or IDE that can do this?

Find matching tags.

So let's say I have a really complicated, long html page plus the coder did not indent - there are nested tables all over the place. I have a <table> tag on line 10 and somewhere in the 1000's of lines is the closing tag.

Is there a product that can match up this for me? Is it expensive?

Most good text editors can do matching brackets - but matching opening and closing html tags?

Thanks

One of the web page validators should be able to do it. Do a search here for web page validtors and you should come up with a thread containing the urls for several of them. One of them is

I think you are not undertsanding my question - I am not looking for errors or missing tags.

I am looking for an IDE or editor that will find matching tags, opening and closing tags even if they are 1000 line apart in a file.

Any number of text editors can do this. Personally, I usually use jEdit with the XML plugin. It does tag completion and highlights matching tags, connecting them with a line in the margin if the matching tag is on a different line.

Textmate on Mac OSX is superb.
