Electronic Submission Form Problem 1

I'm developing an electronic submission form. When I entered a return-to-home-page action at the top of the page, all the lines on the form below it became active. In other words, clicking on any of the words on the page takes you to the home page.

How can I keep the return-to-home-page action at the top of the page without having it affect the rest of the page? The relevant code is:

<body>

<form><A HREF=&quot;index.html&quot;><font face=&quot;arial&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;>Click here to Return to Home Page</font></form>

<FORM METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ACTION=&quot;mailto:myemailaddress&quot;>

<font face=&quot;arial&quot; color=&quot;#7c0019&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;><strong><font size=&quot;5&quot;>Order Form</font></strong>
<br>
Your Last Name:      <INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; NAME=&quot;LAST NAME&quot; SIZE=&quot;50&quot;>

(and so forth)

</form>
</body>


I've tried putting the return-to-home-page code in various places, but nothing seems to solve the problem.

Thanks for your help!

You create a hyperlink that you never close with &quot;</a>&quot;. Note the &quot;</form>&quot; should actually read &quot;</a>&quot;...

<body>

<form><A HREF=&quot;index.html&quot;><font face=&quot;arial&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;>Click here to Return to Home Page</font></form>

<FORM METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ACTION=&quot;mailto:myemailaddress&quot;>

<font face=&quot;arial&quot; color=&quot;#7c0019&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;><strong><font size=&quot;5&quot;>Order Form</font></strong>
<br>
Your Last Name: <INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; NAME=&quot;LAST NAME&quot; SIZE=&quot;50&quot;>

(and so forth)

</form>
</body>
