Right, doing a website for my Part Time Degree, cannot get this page to go through the validator.

Code: 
<form method="post" action="mailto:[email protected]">
		<font face="verdana" size="2" color="black">
		<table width="641" align="center">	
						
					  <tr><td>First Name</td><td><input type="text" name="First_Name" size="15" maxlength="25" value="" /></td>

                                           <td>Second Name</td><td><input type="text" name="Second_Name" size="15" maxlength="25" value="" /></td></tr>

					    <tr><td>Address Line 1</td><td><input type="text" name="Address1" size="25" maxlength="25" value="" /></td>

					     <td>Address Line 2</td><td><input type="text" name="Address2" size="25" maxlength="25" value="" /></td></tr>

					      <tr><td>Address Line 3</td><td><input type="text" name="Address3" size="25" maxlength="25" value="" /></td>

					          <tr><td>Email Address</td><td><input type="text" name="Email" size="30" maxlength="50" value="" /></td></tr>

					           <tr>

Btw cant use CSS or anything, needs to be a static website. No java etc.
 
Thats great, but now the font for the labels on the form are in times new roman not verdanna, is it a case of a font tag for each label? I cannot use CSS, a constraint of the assignment.

That a pretty stupid constraint to make, but I guess you're stuck with it. Yes, what you'll have to do is surround every bit of label text with the relevant <font> element.

It'll take a while, be inflexible, and add loads of bloat to your code (hence why CSS would be better).

Yup tell me bout about it, already had this discussion with a web developer at work and a argument with my tutor. Next assignment can use Java, CSS etc.

Cheers tho :)
