Hi,

I am trying to validate my website - but am getting some error messages on the php e-mail form that I have.

The error message I am getting is:

Line 150, Column 21: "cols" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute.

<textarea cols id="message"='20' rows='10' name='Message' ></textarea>

and

Line 150, Column 33: an attribute specification must start with a name or name token.

<textarea cols id="message"='20' rows='10' name='Message' ></textarea>

✉

An attribute name (and some attribute values) must start with one of a restricted set of characters. This error usually indicates that you have failed to add a closing quotation mark on a previous attribute value (so the attribute value looks like the start of a new attribute) or have used an attribute that is not defined (usually a typo in a common attribute name).


The website name is:

http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~p04283218/mainframe9/

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

it's because you have the attribute "cols", but you don't say how many columns the textarea should have.
It looks like you pasted the id into the cols.

cols id="message"='20'

you should have it

<textarea cols="20" id="message" rows='10' name='Message' ></textarea>

Always the little things which slip us up.
