I am in the process of trying to code a form with radio buttons and drop down menus. However, when I go to validate it 1.0 strict, I am getting the same errors. They are appearing at the "income", "interests", "register", "comments", "buttons", and "strictvalid" entries which leads me to beleive that this is a cascading error somewhere at the top of the code. Quote:
Error Line 111 column 16: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag.
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>").
| Anyone good with HTML and validating v1.0 strict able to help me out? The code follows in the next post. W3C Validator 1.0 Strict link. Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
