I have created a form for my website that looks great and works great in Firefox and Chrome. I went to Browsershots.org to check out if it looks ok in other browsers... and it does.

The form is at the very bottom of my page - I don't know if something is screwy with the very end of the form at the button code, or if I forgot to close some code off?!? But in IE the textarea is filled with some of the form code in the HTML and the footer is missing.

Like I said it the entire index.html looks good and works properly in all other browsers. Here's a snippet of the code at the end where i seem to be having the issue...



<tr>

<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<label for="Injury_List" class="not-required"><big>Related Injury</big><span class="required_star"> * </span><br />select all that apply</label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<input type="checkbox" name="death" value="yes" /> <big>Death <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="stroke" value="yes" /> <big>Stroke <br />

<input type="checkbox" name="heartattack" value="yes" /> Heart Attack <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chf" value="yes" /> Congestive Heart Failure <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="hospital" value="yes" /> Recv'd Hospital Treatment <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="other" value="yes" /> Other</big>
</td>

</tr>

<tr>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<label for="Your_Message" class="not-required"><big>Your Message</big><span class="required_star"> * </span><br />5000 characters</label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">

<textarea style="width:250px;height:120px" name="Your_Message" id="Your_Message" maxlength="5000" onFocus="this.value='';this.onfocus='';" ">Provide us with details relating to your claim. Including any injuries that may have been suffered.</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center" class="cflite_td">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>



Am I doing something wrong?!?? Any help would be GREAT! Thank You!![size=3][b][color=#990000]

avandia.lawsuitinformation.org

again I'm only having the issue in Internet Explorer and I cannot for the life of me figure it out?! Unfortunately, I'm not properly trained to build webpages and what not... but I make due!

Thank You

Our online validator reports markup errors:
http://htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?u...mp;warnings=yes

Some are structural. Some are caused by mixing Transitional markup into a document with a Strict doctype. Some are caused by mixing HTML into an XHTML document.

Oh My God... I can't believe I over looked that!!! And it was that one damn quotation mark that corrupted the rest of the page!!!... why is Internet Explorer so wack?!

I have one more question/problem with my form displaying inside Internet Explorer if someone could please help!

@ my site http://avandia.lawsuitinformation.org the form is at the bottom of the page. The section that says "Related Injury" is where I have several checkboxes. I want these to align left - not centered.

Would the code be something like
<input type="checkbox" align="left.... ?

Thanks Guys! I'm so glad I found this forum!

I'm confused. The checkboxes are already aligned left in the td element that they're in.

Well, it was hardly IE's fault.

If you look at the form in Internet Explorer the checkboxes are centered. I was using that as an example b/c it doesn't align the checkboxes left.

That will correct itself when you get around to fixing the errors the validator reports.

My guess is that MSIE is recovering from the markup errors differently:
