I keep trying to validate my pages in XTHML 1.0 Trans, and my forms are throwing errors.

It says the form object cannot exist there, or rules do not allow the form to be there.

the same is occurring for my h5's. may hap I am just not hip on html 4.0+rules and these elements cannot exist in spans?

Here's a validating version.
I changed the ">>" in the menu,
the nested "" in value="<%= Session('Suspense_ID')%>"
replaced spans with divs with some CSS to adjust the layout.
The row of <br /> should be changed for CSS in class="navigationlinks".
The first line, xml declaration, is not compulsory and puts IE into quirks mode.

The SPAN element is an inline element and as such cannot contain block level elements.
