    It is saying "end tag for element "INPUT" which is not open" which they look to me to be open. Any ideas?

    Also, what is the correct way to right an apostrophe in html?

    What code are you using for the input?

    You might just need to close the tag when using XHTML:
    <input type="text" name="Name" size="20" value="<%= response.write(Name) %>" />
    Code (markup):

    CB- I am using 4.01 HTML

    dct - I think it is related to a copying issue from the old page.

    I have corrected it now, the apostrophe issue was a copy with the wrong text editor and the Google search code had also brought along some stragglers when I pasted it to MS Word while I updated the html in DW.

    It is usually best to copy everything into notepad, MS word will sometimes created more bloated code
