Hi There:
You can check to make sure the tags, parentheses (( )), braces ({ }), and square brackets ([ ]) in your page are balanced. Balanced means that every opening tag, parenthesis, brace, or bracket has a corresponding closing one, and vice versa.
Check for balanced tags
Open the document in Code view.
Place the insertion point in the nested code you want to check.
Select Edit > Select Parent Tag.
The enclosing matching tags (and their contents) are selected in your code. If you keep selecting Edit > Select Parent Tag, and your tags are balanced, eventually Dreamweaver will select the outermost html and /html tags.
Check for balanced parentheses, braces, or square brackets
Open the document in Code view.
Place the insertion point in the code you want to check.
Select Edit > Balance Braces.
All of the code between the enclosing parentheses, braces, or square brackets is selected. Choosing Edit > Balance Braces again selects all of the code inside the parentheses, braces, or square brackets that enclose the new selection.
And also make sure to validate your HTML code at - http://validator.w3.org/
