I Don't know what you mean so I'll show this is my new code

<div id="userarea">

....php stuff with some echo's...

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"
onsubmit="return validateloginform()">
<label for="user">Username</label> <input id="user" type="text"
id="username" name="user" />
<br />
<label for="pass">Password</label> <input id="pass" type="password"
name="pass" />
<input type="hidden" name="loggedon" value="Yes" />
<input type="hidden" name="whatuserIDisit" value="<?php echo "$UID"; ?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log In" />
</form>

....php stuff..

</div>

I get this error and 8 other that say almost the same thing just about the
other inputs, the submit, the <br /> and the labels.

Error *Line 23 column 162*: document type does not allow element "input"

 The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which
you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are
both allowed there *and* can contain the element mentioned. This might mean
that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to
close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a
block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element
(such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
