Please help me find my unclosed element

URL: http://oakroadsystems.com/about/donate.htm

does not validate. On every INPUT line I get 'Line 17 column 47:
document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; missing one of
"P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS"
start-tag.' or similar.

I'm sure that must mean I have some unclosed element or missing quote
mark, but I just can't find it. Can someone look at the page and tell
me the obvious mistake I'm missing? Thanks!

Deciding to do something for the good of humanity, Stan Brown
<th************ @fastmail.fm> spouted in
comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.html:
On every INPUT line I get 'Line 17 column 47:
document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; missing one of
"P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS"
start-tag.' or similar.


The Strict doctype requires all inline elements (including input) to be
contained within a block element[1]. Usually fieldset is the most
logical when dealing with forms, though a div will also do the job.

Why fieldset isn't listed in the error message I don't know - IME it's
in forms that I usually come across that problem.

[1] More to the point, form can only contain block elements and/or
script elements.

untitled text:17: Document type does not permit element <input> in
content of element <form>. is what I get from the BBEdit validator.
Slap all your inputs in a P element per
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#edef-INPUT>

Hi All, I've a problem with unclosed connections. Once a client aborts a connection accidentelly (client crash or power failure eg.), it stucks in and postgres won't restart or stop. Is there any way to close unused (dead) connections. I'd guess that some kind of connection timeout option should do this. Aren't I right? Tank you in advance. Best Regards,

Hi All, Just a thought, about the find() algorithm in the C++ STL. I read that the find algorithm can take a range of iterators. If it does not find the element it is looking for in that range it returns the iterator to the last element in the range, not to the last element in the container, to the last element in the range. That being said, how can we tell if find() has been successful in finding the element we need? Its easy when we...
