On one page of a site I'm doing for a college project, I have a feedback
form:

http://www.zen62775.zen.co.uk/Test/c..._feedback.html

All parts of this page validate, except for the hidden portions of the form,
used for setting the recipient address, sender address, etc...

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...tomatically%29

How can I fix these validation errors?

It's not the hidden inputs that are the problem, but the fact that
they're in the wrong place. If you put them inside one of the <td>s,
there is no problem. Alternatively, you could use a <fieldset> (or any
of the options the validator gave) between the <form> and the <input>
elements.
The whole point is that <input> elements can't be direct children of
<form>. There has to be some containing element around the <input>
elements. (not only around the hidden ones)

How are people supposed to submit the form?

In the Strict DTD that you are using all <input> elements must be
contained inside block level children of the <form> element.
<fieldset> is obvious but <div> or (as you've used for the other
<input>s) <table>/<tr>/<td> are also possible.

Not sure what you mean by <table>/<tr>/<td>, but only the latter is
valid to hold an <input> element.

Yes, but <td> isn't valid unless inside <tr> which isn't valid unless
inside <table> (with optional <tbody> or <thead> or <tfoot> as an
intermediate layer between <td> and <table>).

I haven't coded that yet, it's a work in progress.

PS: I put the hidden elements inside a <div></div>, which fixed the errors.

Utterly correct :-)
Just wasn't sure if that's what you meant by the slashes between the
elements ;-)
