HTML 4.01 Transitional does not permit nesting a FORM inside a P, so
opening the FORM implicitly closes the P, at least if I'm thinking of
the SGML semantics right.  Then there's a </P>, but the P is already gone.

Which markup style are you attempting to use, anyway?  You should add a
DOCTYPE declaration to the top of your document declaring one, as per the
other message that the validator gives you.
