I am trying to validate this piece of code but it wont:

Code:

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://www.youtubedesigns.com" style="padding:0; margin:0;">

<input type="text" class="searching" value="" name="s" id="s" /><input class="submit" type="image" src="http://www.youtubedesigns.com/wp-content/themes/theme835/images/search.gif" value="submit" />

</form>

The doctype is xhtml1 strict and I am useless with forms as I have barely used them.

Hope something can point out how to validate that as its driving the sgml parser for FF crazy with IFRAME undefined etc

Thanks guys!

EDIT: The code above isnt causing the IFRAME error, just realised but still the code above I think isnt valid.

What are the errors the validator is giving you?

Just wrap the inputs in p, div or h tags:

Code:

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://www.youtubedesigns.com" style="padding:0; margin:0;">

<p><input type="text" class="searching" value="" name="s" id="s" /></p>
<p><input class="submit" type="image" src="http://www.youtubedesigns.com/wp-content/themes/theme835/images/search.gif" value="submit" /></p>

</form>

If you don't want the block styling, add a class and define in your css to display:inline.

Awesome thank you! I will add that now.

EDIT: Worked perfect with the the added classes :) Thanks Jon!
