form code won't validate - 7/28/2005 8:16:00
Hi,
These are the validation errors I get for this page www.ihost-websites.com/horse
Could you please advise how to correct them...thank you
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.
1. Line 219, column 8: end tag for element "form" which is not open
</form>
The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.
If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.
2.Line 266, column 83: document type does not allow element "form" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "ins", "del" start-tag
...al.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"/>
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
3. Line 267, column 87: there is no attribute "border"
...n_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments wit
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.
4.Line 277, column 6: end tag for element "form" which is not open
</form>
5. Line 310, column 6: end tag for element "form" which is not open
</form>

You've got a / at the end of your opening form tag which, in theory would close itself immediately - take these two /s out so your form tag should look like this:
<form action="blah">
Form stuff goes here
</form>
Instead of :
<form action="blah" />
Form stuff goes here
</form>
The border one's easy - take out border="0" replace with: style="border:none;"
Do this and see what happens

Ok - I think I got it - it validates anyway:
You've currently got some small text then the form with a <span> around all of it. If you move the closing span tag up to the end of the saddle price then it all validates.
Like this:
<span class="textvsmall"> Designed for all Western style saddles. Lambskin covers both seat and horn. One size.<br />
<br />Price: $75.00 </span>
