Web Form Validation?
Recently, I’ve been dabbling in the arts of form-based mail (i.e., on your website, someone fills out a form with their email address, subject, and message content, and an email is sent to you). I’ve managed to blunder my way through, and come up with something that works, but there’s a problem: the w3 validator doesn’t like it. It comes up with errors like:
Document type does not allow element “form” here; missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “ins”, “del” start-tag and Value of attribute “method” cannot be “POST”; must be one of “get”, “post”.
Anyone know what’s going on here? I’m trying to get my page validating as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

…I don’t think we can help unless you post the html code for your form.
