Could someone take a look at this and tell me why it isn't validating?

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.borzoi.org%2Fcontact.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline

Thanks much,
Dave

You don't have the right combination of tags around the textarea. Can't say exactly what the cause of the problem is without seeing the whole page.

try putting a <p> tag around the <textarea> tag and the <input> tags

e.g <p><textarea rows="5" name="note" cols="74" tabindex="3">Enter your message here</textarea></p>

and see if that validates
