Please help me find my unclosed element

[Stan Brown]

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.infosystems.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>
