Line 158, column 31: document type does not allow element "hr" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
you should have a space before your / in the hr tag, but maybe you just aren't supposed to put hr tags into label tags - have you tried using border-top and display:block instead?

Yes but omitting that space will not trip up the validator as it is perfectly valid. There are lots of ways to make a valid XHTML page that doesn't work which is why one ought not to use XHTML, not on the web that is.

Exactly. It won't trip up the validator, but it may trip up some browsers.

I chose the Devil's path
Never shall the sun kiss my face
And caress me with it's burning light
For I dwell in the shadows
And sleep side by side with death

The label element is for labelling form fields, I wouldn't have thought that a horizontal rule would be a very good label. Why do you have it in there in the first place?

There is no HR element on that page. I do see a different error, P elements cannot contain TABLE or other block elements. And I do note that you don't have a very firm grasp of XHTML (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines). But I wonder, Why are you using XHTML? Of XHTML 1.0 Transitional, XHTML 1.0 Strict, HTML 4.01 Transitional and HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Transitional will work on the fewest browsers while HTML 4.01 Strict will work on all browsers.
