Hi, 
I run a validation for my order form and it gave me error :end tag for
element form which is not open  /form 

But I do have open form tag:
form method=post action=../cgi-bin/mcart/mof.cgi /
 

get rid of the trailing / in the line above
form method=post action=../cgi-bin/mcart/mof.cgi /
should be:
form method=post action=../cgi-bin/mcart/mof.cgi

div id=formContentContent here/div
/form
My Doctype is xhtml transitional.
Also, have anybody done the e-commerce site that is fully xhtml validated?
I find it too much a challenge!

Remove that last slash at the end. You're self-closing the form tag, 
which is not what you want. Effectively what you've written there is 
shorthand for

form method=post action=../cgi-bin/mcart/mof.cgi/form
So, change that line to just
form method=post action=../cgi-bin/mcart/mof.cgi

Thanks all, this is really embarrassing! Question I asked in the last 4 days
were the result of my carelessness. I hope it doesn't give an impression
that I am here for quick answer without doing my homework.

Regards,

The big one I meant is covered with NDA, so I can't tell you. There are 
two more under development, one available to outside - a really small 
one on http://www.bonsoir.cz/obchod/ (I'm working on it right now, so 
not all parts rewritten yet)

Only if deadline is not due :(
That's up to you to properly plan the whole workflow and production 
process and set the appropriate timeline.
