Trouble with my form
I am creating a form, and have some trouble with the last
table. Before I add it I can view the form in NN3 and IE4. After I add it, I can only see the form in IE4 (NN3 shows a blank screen).
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
I have also put the page on-line at:

Thanks

remove the first <table> from above <table border=0>. Netscape is expecting a table there and is not displaying the rest of the stuff.

Hi Wimkerk,
here's what I've found:
line 5 - <center>, that tag name was opened but never closed,
and same goes to -
<table> from line 6;
<tr> -- line 7;
<td> -- line 8;
<p> -- line 13;
<form> -- line 18;
<center> -- line 30;
<table> -- line 48.
On the line 30 you have closing tag </a>, but this tag was never
opened.
On the lines 32, 34, 36, 39 and 41 you have <input type="checkbox"
name="..">. An INPUT element with TYPE=CHECKBOX requires the NAME AND VALUE attributes.
Here's different view on your page with tags. Can you find here
your errors?

Sorry for the delay. I will give my points for the answer that let my form reappear: the answer of chewymon.
Thanks MasseyM and also happy1 for the detailed comment. The additional tags that I have forgotten didn't seem to matter to NN3, but it might matter to other browsers. So thanks a lot.
