I have cleaned the code in both files so that they validate. And it was really nothing more I did (except removing any ref. to 'main' from the html file). Now I get a decent page also in IE.

The W3C validation is a very useful tool indeed!

Find this bit of code:


Add another closing and opening li


Find this code:


Just close the label

I think I found those errors and corrected them, didn't I? See the attached files to my previous post.

Thank you all very much, I have a page. I found the validator very intimidating, as at one stage it even told me I had the wrong DOC TYPE, I took it out and replaced it with their suggestion, which it did not accept. So I put the old one back in at it validated.
At one stage I had 1 warning and 73 errors.
Good advice from Joker about putting the basics in with no content and have it validated at that point.
Anyway Problems gone away on this page, now I have to start hunting for scripts for the form - to -mail and things --- something for tomorrow.
Many thanks to all again

The doctype had a space in the middle of a word, therefore it didn't validate at first.

I found one error in the css file that I had overlooked erarlier:



Add a semicolon after '1em'!

I had only looked at his live page, which was already fixed by the time i finished posting that

this any help tone?

sending mail from a php form...

Well, thanks to the support I got here, I now have a form, looks pretty good, opens in all browsers and has been thoroughly road-tested by a blind lady and her screen-reader software.
It's here:http://www.queens-english-society.com/apply.html
Now to get it to do something! I don't think I can follow Fe Pixi's link to some script, as I have saved my page as an HTML and there is other content on the page.(Mind you, at my great old age, I don't know my php from a lemon)
I want my form data to come to me via e-mail.
It would be an idea to have a thank you message go back to the user
The user should have the option to stay on the page, where there is a link to PayPal - I want their subscription to our charity, if you see what I mean.
My hosting service offers some script for form-to-e-mail, but it includes "image verification", which kinda makes the whole thing inaccessible again.
I have seen "iv" with audio assistance for people who cannot identify the image. SCARY!
So despite all your welcome assistance, I'm stuck at the last hurdle.

Hi again, Tony,

I'm doing a java script course at the moment, but I have not got far enough into it yet to be able to help you with posting your form.

The form I asked you to test run from one of my pages is exactly the same as the one Fe Pixie has on her page (she created it). It can be set up with a lot more fields than what you found at my website, and it can be styled the same way as your present form. If you get stuck in the search for a suitable script, come back here and we'll see what we can do with it.

Bless you Inger, Good luck with yyour course.
