Forrms. Problem with Validation 1

[gwillr]

I have a form in the following table, which works fine, and displays correctly., BUT, will not validate.

<table class="splashtable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
					
						<tr>
							<td class="td1">
							</td>
						</tr>
      			
      				
      					<tr>
      						<td class="td2"><font class="headinglrgyel">[Contact Me]</font><hr class="hryellow" />
      						</td>
      					</tr>

						<tr>
							<td class="td3">

								<table class="contactus" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                                              
                                	<tr>
                                    	<td class="tdcontactus1" colspan="2">
											<font class="contentyel">Comments, Questions, And Feedback</font><br /><br />
										</td>
                              		</tr>
                                              
                                    <tr>
                                    	<td class="tdcontactus2">
                                    		<form method="post" action="contactprocess.asp">
                               				<font class="contentred">Feedback:&nbsp;</font><br />
                               				<a class="helpcontentyel" href="javascript:popUp('help1.asp')">[?]</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
                               			</td>
                                          		
                                        <td class="tdcontactus3">
                               				<textarea rows="6" name="contact" cols="61" style="border:1px solid #282484; vertical-align: top; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana; overflow: auto; color:#282484"></textarea>
                               			</td>
                                    </tr>
                                              
                                    <tr>
                                    	<td class="tdcontactus4" colspan="2">
                                    	<font class="contentred">Your Name:&nbsp;</font>
                                    	<input type="text" size="36" name="contactname" style="border:1px solid #282484; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana; color: #282484"/>
                                    	</td>
                                   	</tr>
                                              
                                    <tr>
                                    	<td class="tdcontactus5" colspan="2">
                               				<font class="contentred">Email Address:&nbsp;</font>
                               				<input type="text" size="36" name="contactemail" style="border:1px solid #282484; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana; color: #282484"/>
                               			</td>
                                   	</tr>
                                    
                                    <tr>
                                    	<td class="tdcontactus6" colspan="2">
                                    		<input type="submit" value="[submit]" name="contactsubmit" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0; color: #CC0000; font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; background-color: #282484" />
                                    		</form>
                                    	</td>
                             		</tr>
                                </table>

The error is with the <form> tags. It is telling me that they are not closed, or not open.

I think that it is because of the fact that the form tags are used across cells???

Any insight on how to get this fixed??

You cannot span form across several cells. You have two options:

1. place form within a single cell,
2. place form around the whole table.

Choose the one that is better for you.

Vragabond, Thanks once again for the prompt response. I placed the tags outside the table, and the form works great. the HTML is now valid as well! Excellent!

Thanks again,
