Validation problems

[mPeror]

I'm trying to validate this file : http://www.mashhoor.ws/app/startup/index.php

I'm having an annoying problem while trying to Validate my site. The first error is causing the other errors , and i have no idea what it is. I couldn't find any tags that aren't closed.

I also get another error when i try to use the attribute "width" with the <td> tag in the table , and it doesn't get affected when i replace it with a CSS class. How am i supposed to strech the <td> then?


any help is much appreciated

Hello

You need to surround the select options in <p></p> tags then get rid of the < br /> below it:

<p>
  <select style="margin-left : 10px"  name="browser">
  <option value="iexplore.exe">Internet Explorer</option>
  <option value="firefox.exe">FireFox</option>
  </select>
  </p>

Thanks ! it's valid now. But why do i have to surround it in <p> tags? and why putting a break line after the select statement shows an error??


Also if anyone has any idea on how to change the <td> width in a valid way ; please let me know.

The FORM element can only have block-level children. P is block-level, SELECT and BR are inline-level.

You can change the with of table cells with CSS.

td.somecell { width:10em; }
