Forum Moderators: open
I'm trying to validate a form so it can be included on my contact page.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I'm at a bit of a loss!
First time poster on the forum, and bona fide amateur with no formal training, but am trying my hardest!
The source code for the IFrame form was generated by a 'form builder' via the website host.
I have included the code beneath my name.
The page validated perfectly prior to introducing the form.
Should I maybe change the format of the Dreamweaver page to something other than xhtml to help the form validate?
Again, all suggestions would be really appreciated.
Warm regards
Peter

Here are the "problems" I observe with the generated code. Note that none of these things will "break" the page or the site, but they are still items out of spec.

<iframe> is merely tolerated in XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and not permitted at all in XHTML 1.0 Strict.
Delete 
 as it is a character entity for a "line separator"; character data is not legal between the DOCTYPE declaration and the <html> element.
The ampersand in your src attribute should be escaped as &.
The "allowtransparency" and "background-color" attributes are Microsoft-only, and not generally valid.
Your <script> should include a MIME type (probably text/javascript).
