Trouble with Unclosed element form - html

I can´t figure out why my form tag doesn´t recognise it´s close, any ideas ?
I have tried changing the divs a couple of times but it just messes up the whole form.
Code: https://codeshare.io/2pypdD

I figured it out, it had to do with some non-obvious interactions (for me) between the and several divs.

Bootstrap white space on the right on mobile view

So working on this website and faced with an issue of blank space on the right side of the page on mobile view. I've looked at everything and still cant seem to get rid of it.
I deleted each section of the site hoping to find the area where the issue was (overflowing form something I thought) but it was always there so I don't know what to do.
[link removed] is the site on the dev server.
Im really stumped by this so hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance
The issue is visible only on mobile and almost no way to debug that (well there is a way, kind of a hard way to debug that).
Any long story short ... i suppose one of the page elements is not behaving as it should in mobile view. With this i mean, an element, element X for example is wider then the width of your mobile screen so it creates that white screen issue.
What im gonna propose here is not a 100% solution, is more like a workaround but it will work if the issue is what i supposed:
Apply this css rule on the body tag:
body { overflow-x: hidden; }

Copy Paste your url or paste your code (at the "Check by" dropdown) and you'll see unclosed elements.
Close your elements, I think there is the solution
Thanks to everyone for your help. So I found the issue, As Arber suggested it was an element behaving badly. It was the contents of the carousel overflowing causing whitespace to appear, so I was able to rectify the problem. Thanks again! Tthe validation helps with a few other side issues too.

Different layout display on website over multiple loads

I am having an extremely odd issue creating a template for my zencart ecommerce website.
I find that many times I load the website my menu will break up and split over two lines as shown below.
The reason I find this behavior odd is that if I refresh the page it correctly displays.
Now I could understand how to fix this if it was consistently one way or the other but it seems to vary between the two with no obvious difference in the code... I am not sure if this is some sort of technical bug with chrome as I haven't been able to replicate it in other browsers however even if it is I really need a way of working around it. So I am curious as to whether anyone has had this issue before and if so how they got around it.

If you add
white-space:nowrap;
To the div that contains the list it should prevent this, not sure why it's happening though.
Edit: here is a jsfiddle showing the technique http://jsfiddle.net/RM4S2/
Edit: No floats http://jsfiddle.net/BsGfu/2/
This is a really strange problem, and I was able to recreate the quirkiness in Chrome. While I don't know the direct cause of the issue, I think I found one way that works.
If you set the width of the second div within 'navEZpagesTop' that you are floating right that is wrapping,to 'width:485px;'. This seems to give the section room and does not wrap. If you want to leave more room for this expand without modifying the css you could set it to a much larger size, and float all the links inside of this to the right(instead of the left).

Z-indexing/Display Issue

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out this issue, and I can't seem to figure out how to get my menu to display over the underlying elements.
I've had this issue before, but I've always been able to remedy it by fixing the z-indexing.
I can't seem to manage it this time -- any thoughts guys?
Here's an example of the site(not complete, just working on this issue right now) where the issue is happening, you should be able to play with it a bit with google dev tools or something a-kin :).

The menu isn't appearing because of the overflow:hidden portion of .container. If you remove that it should work just fine.

Input Text Forms Not Clickable - Nested DIVs

I was finishing up a website that Im doing for a friend and I ran into a problem on this page
http://directv.spacecommand.tv/order/
(For informative purposes. He's an authorized dealer for all the companies listed on the website so were able to use content from their respective websites. We asked.)
The form that is there isnt clickable. I tried looking for a mistake but I cant seem to find out what it is. Im 17, this is my first website, im lacking some experience. So it could be something obvious. If you notice something wrong, please let me know. Thanks.
EDIT: Im using nested DIVs. Ive tried stacking them with z-index but it doesnt seem to work.
Remove the z-index: -1 declaration in #maincontainer. This is causing the div to be placed beneath the body, making it unclickable.

TextArea not clickable in IE6

I have a simple textarea which works in all browsers i.e. I can click inside it and type.
But I can't do this with IE6! I am however, able to press the tab key until I get to the textarea and then I can type in it. But I cannot click it.
What a strange quirk? Anyone know what the hell is going on?!
The source of my form can been found here.
Thanks all for any help
Update
Here is the CSS. Nothing jumps out at me.
Update 2
Annoying, I have narrowed down the problem to this line:
background-image:url(../../images/checkout_fuzzy.png);
I use this setup for all my sites pages, but this is the first page that has text areas in it so I guess that might be the reason why it doesn't like the above. What possible could I change the above to so that it doesn't overlay the textarea.
Solved
A position:relative on the containing div solved my IE6 problem! The problem was that the text area was not clickable due to something (div) covering the textareas as identified by Chris.
I don't know what's going on but I have some thoughts that may or may not be the problem. I would hazard a guess that it might be stylesheet related. Its possible in HTML to have something invisible in front of a form element that stops it receiving a click but I would think that wouldn't stop the input getting tabbed to.
To test if this is the case see if you get the same problem if you don't reference your stylesheet at all. If this allows you to click its something to do with your CSS/layout. If you still can't click then I'd probably try turning javascript off on your browser and seeing what difference that makes...
The HTML looks totally fine to me at a glance but I of course can't see what your CSS and/or javascript might be doing on the page. Best of luck. :)
Not 100% sure if this will fix it, but try setting the 'cols' attribute in the textarea.
Here's an example.
<textarea rows="2" cols="20"></textarea>
IE6 can be a bit fidgety if it doesn't get what it expects.
I don't have a copy of ie6 handy but I do know that ie6 can get real funky with absolute and relative positioning. try commenting out your absolutely and relatively positioned CSS styles and see if any of them are covering your form.
