Here it is < > www.stopviolentyouth.org/temp/form.html First (semi) problem, you have: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> and that's incomplete. It should read: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> The link give it a 'standard' / definition to use. But the most important thing missing is something like this: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> (put inside <head></head>) Oh, and your page did NOT have a <head> tag - not good. I added it in the code. This defines a character encoding label. I've made the above changes and posted it to my site at: http://www.hotfootmail.com/form.html Now it can be used by the w3 validator service at: http://validator.w3.org/ Go here you'll see the errors. You should understand (most of) them. Ask if you don't. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotfootmail.com%2Ffor m.html Scroll down far enough and you'll see the new page code. Hugh
