Validation Output: 1 Error
Line 16, Column 59: document type does not allow element "form" here; missing one of "object", "div", "blockquote", "center", "noframes", "fieldset", "applet", "map", "iframe", "noscript", "ins", "del" start-tag
<form action="two" method="get" accept-charset="utf-8">
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
