competence gone
<edit>
Don't read the following, just here to show people what NOT to do. I found the solution. I have to use the proper doctype declaration :P Like the title suggest, I'm incompetent. Took me two weeks to figure this out...
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/loose.dtd">
</edit>
With the following HTML:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/loose.dtd">
I get this:
This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Strict!
From the site:
http://validator.w3.org
It's telling me:
Quote:
Line 72, column 75: document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; missing one of "P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS" start-tag

I checked everything I know and can't find the solution. I checked google, I checked the forums I don't know WTF I'm looking for... I don't know why it doesn't work. I've tried the DIV tag and it says the form has ended but there is no ending tag. This is the code for that:
Code:
<form method="get" name="searchform" action="http://www.google.com/search" >
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="as_sitesearch" value="waynemarsh.web1000.com">
<input type="text" size="10" name="as_q" style="color:#293629;background-color:#457b45;font-weight:bold;">
<input type="submit" value="Go!" style="color:#293629;background-color:#457b45;font-weight:bold;">
</div>
</form>
Could be the fact that I don't know WTF I'm doing since I just wasted money learning HTML 2 a few months ago, which I already knew. I'm losing patience with this whole HTML 4.01. I'm losing faith in my ability to learn computers.
I checked google.ca doesn't even have a damn doctype declaration!
BTW the site isn't up yet.
I r retard...
