This is Wrong: <p> <form>...</form> </p> You cannot do that, move the form element outside of the p element, like this: This is Correct: <form> <p>...</p> </form> Also, you should consider removing the presentational elements and attributes from your document and specifying presentation using CSS. ie. <font>, <center>, etc. are all presentational and should not be used. The 2nd error is because the onsubmit attribute needs to be used on the form element, not the submit button. <form onsubmit="..."> <p>...</p> </form> Alternatively, you could consider removing the behavioural onsubmit attribute and attaching an event listener dynamically using script, preferably in an external file. > i have been up and down w3schools.com looking to see the problem... > can you clear it up for me. thanks W3Schools (which is not affiliated with the W3C) is not one of the greatest educational resources available. It's not suprising that you won't find solutions to many validation problems there. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
