Can't you simplify our work a bit and let us know what errors told you the parser your page has?
If you are copying and pasting code into the validator, then remember that you can't validate php code. You see all of the <? ... ?> code snippets... that's PHP code.
You have to pull up that PHP page in a browser window, view source, copy that code, and validate it.

had to modify recapchalib as well as it is non-compliant.
Add the <fieldset> inside the <form> for comply with hyerarchical structure of forms.
Also, <form> tag seemly doesn't have a "name" attribute, use "id" attribute instead.
If you continue receiving errors after that paste them here.

toche my friend. I personally use IDs and stopped using Name attributes years ago... so I have never encountered this error since I switched to XHTML. Thanks for the clarification.
