why doesn't the xhtml validate

Question

I don't understand why this form will not validate. It claims that I have not closed an input tag and that I have a closing input tag that is not open.

The page in question is http://squareownz.org/dunkyp/index.py

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsquareownz.org%2Fdunkyp%2Findex.py

This page however doesn't agree that the code is valid.

Answer 1

try to reform your input tags to

<input />
instead of
<input></input>

I think that is it

edit: damn people response fast here I see my solution has already been suggested.

Answer 2

You can't have closing input tags, you need to self-close them:

<input type="text" name="title" value=""></input>

->

<input type="text" name="title" value="" />

Answer 3

You should use <input /> instead of <input></input>
