    Web form acting up

    HELP!!

    I can't firgure out why my form gets underlined in green. Every field gets underlined for some reason. However, when you take your mouse over it, it goes away.

    It only happens in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Firefox is ok.

    Here is the page where this happens:

    Thanks in advance,
    Sevak.

    Please correct the 160 markup errors and 17 CSS errors. If the problem persists even with valid files, bring it back and someone will try to lend a hand.

      what tool would you recommend?

          ok,

          I don't know if you totally believe this "w3c markup validation service" really works, but I tried running my site against it and the result was interesting.

          The errors that were popping up didn't even exist on my page. I thought I was going blind so I really had to look at the result page. So, in conclusion, I don't believe that tools is accurate.

          According to the site that you recommended,

          "www.microsoft. com" has

          178 Errors, 38 warning(s)

          But besides the point, I fixed my problem, I was missing a closing tag somewhere on top.


          Sevak.

            If you and your client are happy with, and into, depending on software error recovery (as of this writing there are still 158 markup validation errors and 17 css errors on your page) to render the site then you'll be right in line with the majority of sites on the Web that don't adhere to Web Standards, either..

              I deffinitly agree in following web standards. This project was low budget and it was for a friend of mine. I can't imagine sitting there for hours (even days) fixing every single error and not getting paid for it.

              I will deffinitly keep those sites in mind for future, well PAID projects.

              PS - I am using Dreamweaver as my development tool.
