In HTML, the </HEAD> tag is optional. It is implied by any tag that could only appear in the BODY. It's also implied by loose text in the HEAD. Also note that XML-style empty tags of the form <foo /> have a different meaning in HTML than in XHTML; using /> endings in the HEAD of an HTML document will implicitly close the HEAD. > 1.

The "name" attribute is not present for "form" in HTML 4.0, but it is present in HTML 4.01. If your DOCTYPE specifies HTML 4.0, change it to 4.01. > 1.

"In certain cases, authors may specify the value of an attribute without any quotation marks. The attribute value may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens (ASCII decimal 45), periods (ASCII decimal 46), underscores (ASCII decimal 95), and colons (ASCII decimal 58). We recommend using quotation marks even when it is possible to eliminate them." http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2 Quotes are required for attribute values that include "%". -- Liam Quinn
