There is nothing wrong with your PHP, the Validator (just like the browser) never sees it.
The exact error is: Line 76, column 146: document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag ...="feed55d0090f3055f4e5c6f7553ff5eb" /> 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>"). And this is line 76 and your Form: 76: <form action="index.php" method="post" id="submissionform"><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="feed55d0090f3055f4e5c6f7553ff5eb" /> 77: <p>Username</p> 78: <p class="inputfield"><input size="10" type="text" maxlength="13" name="username"/></p> 79: <p>Password</p> 80: <p class="inputfield"><input size="10" type="password" maxlength="13" name="password"/></p> 81: <p class="button"><input class="button" type="submit" value="Logon" name="logon"/></p> 82: </form> But, I cannot work out why you are getting that result. Hopefully this bit of information Ive added for you will help. On Wed, 25 Aug 2004 08:39:40 +0000, Steven Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got a page with a small logon form, nothing major.
