HTML5 Validation - Unclosed Elements that seem to be closed - html

I'm getting errors when trying to validate this page in HTML5:
Unclosed element fieldset.
Stray end tag fieldset.
Unclosed element form.
For this block of html:
<form class="pure-form pure-form-aligned" id="submit_form_contact" novalidate>
<fieldset>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="name">Your Name:</label>
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Name" name="name" required>
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="email">Your Email:</label>
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Email Address" name="email" required>
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="email_text">Inquiry Type: </label>
<select id="inquiry_dropdown" class="pure-input-1-2" name="inquiry">
<option>General</option>
<option>Sales & Marketing</option>
<option>Press & Editorial</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="message" style="vertical-align: top;">Message:</label>
<textarea id="message" type="text" placeholder="Enter message here..." name="message"></textarea>
</div>
<div id="errors" style="text-align: center; color: red;"></div>
<button id="contact_submit" class="pure-button pure-button-primary" style="background-color: #003A70; float:right; margin-right: 35px;margin-top:15px;">Submit</button>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
... I can't figure out why. Everything seems to be closed properly. Can anyone spot anything I'm doing wrong?

You have an </div> after your "contact_submit" button, but no corresponding <div>. This is causing the parser the ham up.
I would suggest a code editor such as Notepad++ - one of its features is tag matching, where it can tell you easily if you have mismatched tags.

HTML source validation errors

How would I fix this code for it to be validated in html 5 correctly? When I test my page in Chrome, it shows the page correctly, but I am validating with errors...
<div class="form">
<form action="#">
<div class="flexBox">
<input type="text" name="" id="" placeholder="Your name">
<input type="email" name="" id="text" placeholder="Your email">
</div>
<input type="text" name="" id="" placeholder="Your subject">
<textarea "name" id="" cols="30" rows="8" placeholder="Your message">
</textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
</div>
There are multiple errors in your HTML code.
Firstly, you need to remove the name string on the <textarea> element.
I think you wanted to set the name attribute to something. In that case, you can use the code below.
<textarea name="name"></textarea>
Secondly, you have to remove all of the empty name and id attributes. So, all of these:
<input name="" id="" />
Can simply be removed.
<input />
So, in summary, you need to:
Change the "name" text on the <textarea> element to be an attribute (and have a value).
Remove all empty name and id attributes.
All the issues that have been pointed out are right. I strongly recommend you to use a linter within your IDE
Or check out sites like validator.w3.org where you can paste/upload/urled your code and it will analyze it.
Here is my corrected code which validates perfectly. Just in case someone runs into a similar issue in the future. Thanks everyone.
<div class="form">
<form action="#">
<div class="flexBox">
<input type="text" placeholder="Your name">
<input type="email" placeholder="Your email">
</div>
<input type="text" placeholder="Your subject">
<textarea cols="30" rows="8" placeholder="Your message">
</textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
</div>

Why is my submit button not submitting form data? - HTML/Node

I've got a simple form which I'm wanting people to join to be put onto a waiting list for my product - but it's not submitting.
My application is being hosted on localhost:3000 and runs absolutely fine. The page renders and you can fill the inputs in.
But when you click 'submit' it does nothing. I've tried doing a few different 'types' of the button, but no luck.
Here's my code:
<section class="waiting-list-section">
<div class="waiting-container">
<div class="waiting-heading">
<h2>Join our waiting list</h2>
</div>
<div class="waiting-inputs">
<label for="fName">Enter your first name</label>
<input type="text" name="fName" value="">
<label for="lName">Enter your surname</label>
<input type="text" name="lName" value="">
<label for="email">Enter your email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" value="">
<button class="waiting-submit-button glow" type="submit" name="submit">Join</button>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Any tips? :-)
You need a form element wrapped around the input elements and the button.
<form>
<label for="fName">Enter your first name</label>
<input type="text" name="fName" value="">
<label for="lName">Enter your surname</label>
<input type="text" name="lName" value="">
<label for="email">Enter your email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" value="">
<button class="waiting-submit-button glow" type="submit" name="submit">Join</button>
</form>
Second approach would be to add an eventListener on the button and when it is clicked, get the values from the inputs and then do whatever you want to do with that data

How to get two inputs side by side and the rest on separate lines?

I have an form that I want to have a user fill in. I want to lay it out that the name fields are next to each other and all other fields are on their own separate line.
I have used the below code, have tried putting paragraphs and "brs" , but still no luck...
The code below:
<div style="float:left;">
<label for="username"><b>First Name*</b><span class="required"></span> </label>
<input id="user_first_name" name="FirstName" size="30" type="text" placeholder="First" />
</div>
<div style="float:right;">
<label for="name"><b>Last Name*</b><span class="required"></span></label>
<input id="user_last_name" name="LastName" size="30" type="text" placeholder="Last"/>
</div>
<!--<label><b>Full Name </b><span class="required">*</span></label><input type="text" name="FirstName" class="field-divided" placeholder="First" style="float:left" />;<input type="text" name="Surname" class="field-divided" placeholder="Last" style="float:right"/> <p></p>-->
<label><b>Email </b><span class="required">*</span></label><input type="email" name="Email" class="field-long" placeholder="Email" value="<?php echo $_POST['Turnover']; ?>" />
<label><b>Phone </b><span class="required">*</span></label><input type="number" name="Phone" class="field-divided" placeholder="Number" />
<label style="font-size:10px">only numbers, no special characters</label>
Returns the below image:
So, for some reason the Email Address Label is very much out of place (it should be above the input that is reading 1500 - the way Phone is above number
I'm sure that it's a silly little thing, but I just can't place it
I have tried various combinations of "< p>" and "< br >",but to no avail.
You need to add "clear both" ( <div style="clear:both"></div> ) to prevent the content below mixed up with your 2 floating divs.
Example code:
<div style="float:left;">
<!-- something here -->
</div>
<div style="float:right;">
<!-- something here -->
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<!-- more goes here -->
I would use something like Bootstrap, if I were you. However, here's a custom solution:
input {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
div.inline {
width: 100%;
display: table;
}
div.inline div {
display: table-cell;
}
div.inline div:nth-child(n+2) {
padding-left: 10px;
}
<div class="inline">
<div>
<label>First Name:</label>
<input>
</div>
<div>
<label>Last Name:</label>
<input>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<label>Email:</label>
<input>
</div>
<div>
<label>Phone:</label>
<input>
</div>
wrap your bottom 3 inputs and labels in a div and add 100% width to each input and label
<div style="width:100%;clear:both;display:block;">
<label style="width:100%;display:block;"></label
<input style="width:100%;display:block;">
</div>
.flexi{
display:flex;
flex-flow:row;
}
<div class="flexi">
<div>
<label for="username"><b>First Name*</b><span class="required"></span> </label>
<input id="user_first_name" name="FirstName" size="30" type="text" placeholder="First" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="name"><b>Last Name*</b><span class="required"></span></label>
<input id="user_last_name" name="LastName" size="30" type="text" placeholder="Last"/>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<!--<label><b>Full Name </b><span class="required">*</span></label><input type="text" name="FirstName" class="field-divided" placeholder="First" style="float:left" />;<input type="text" name="Surname" class="field-divided" placeholder="Last" style="float:right"/> <p></p>-->
<div>
<label><b>Email </b><span class="required">*</span></label><input type="email" name="Email" class="field-long" placeholder="Email" value="<?php echo $_POST['Turnover']; ?>" />
</div>
<div>
<label><b>Phone </b><span class="required">*</span></label><input type="number" name="Phone" class="field-divided" placeholder="Number" />
<label style="font-size:10px">only numbers, no special characters</label>
</div>
</div>

How does CSS :first-child selector works

I have this html snippet:
<form class="job-manager-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<fieldset>
<label>Have an account?</label>
<div class="field account-sign-in">
<a class="button" href="">Sign in</a>
</div>
</fieldset>
<!-- Job Information Fields -->
<fieldset class="fieldset-job_title">
<label for="job_title">Job Title</label>
<div class="field required-field">
<input type="text" class="input-text" required="">
</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="fieldset-job_location">
<label for="job_location">Location <small>(optional)</small></label>
<div class="field ">
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="job_location" id="job_location" placeholder="e.g. "London"" value="" maxlength="">
<small class="description">Leave this blank if the location is not important</small> </div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="fieldset-application">
<label for="application">Application email/URL</label>
<div class="field required-field">
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="application" id="application" placeholder="Enter an email address or website URL" value="" maxlength="" required="">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
And I would like to select first fieldset in the form. This what I am doing:
form.job-manager-form:first-child {
background-color: red;
}
But it selects all fieldset elements. How does :first-child works?
JSFiddle is here.
You need to target the element you want and then say it's the first-child.
There is an excellent article explaining how these selectors works:
useful-nth-child-recipies
fieldset:first-child {
background-color: red;
}
<form class="job-manager-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<fieldset>
<label>Have an account?</label>
<div class="field account-sign-in">
<a class="button" href="">Sign in</a>
</div>
</fieldset>
<!-- Job Information Fields -->
<fieldset class="fieldset-job_title">
<label for="job_title">Job Title</label>
<div class="field required-field">
<input type="text" class="input-text" required="">
</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="fieldset-job_location">
<label for="job_location">Location <small>(optional)</small></label>
<div class="field ">
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="job_location" id="job_location" placeholder="e.g. "London"" value="" maxlength="">
<small class="description">Leave this blank if the location is not important</small> </div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="fieldset-application">
<label for="application">Application email/URL</label>
<div class="field required-field">
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="application" id="application" placeholder="Enter an email address or website URL" value="" maxlength="" required="">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
fieldset:first-child {
background-color: red;
}
This will work. However, your first-child fieldset is set to display:none; so it will not actually show the background color.
It selects an element if it is the first child of its parent.
Your selector doesn't select any fieldsets. It selects the form.
The fieldsets have a (default) transparent background, so you can see the red through them.
To select the fieldset that is the first child of a form you would need:
form.job-manager-form > fieldset:first-child

Button and Paragraph side-by-side, unresponsive

I have a checkbox button and a Paragraph side-by-side.
It's inline-block and everything is nice... Look:
When I turn my view into responsive, it just drops down a line. Like this:
How do I overcome this issue elegently in CSS without starting build divs around elements and bootstrap the whole deal here? Thanks!
re code; those are 2 columns and both button and paragraph reside in he left column.
EDITED FOR CODE ADDITION:
<div class="row no-pad">
<div class="col-xs-6 left-hand-input">
<!--FORM BEGIN-->
<form class="form-control-static" action="leadGen.php" method="post">
<p>PERSONAL DETAILS</p>
<hr>
<label for="firstName">FIRST NAME:</label><br>
<input name="firstName" id="firstName" type="text"><br>
<label for="email">EMAIL:</label><br>
<input name="email" id="email" type="email">
<p>SHIPMENT ADDRESS</p>
<hr>
<label for="address">ADDRESS:</label><br>
<input name="address" id="address" type="text"><br>
<label for="country">COUNTRY:</label><br>
<input name="country" id="country" type="text"><br>
<label for="zip">ZIP CODE:</label><br>
<input name="zip" id="zip" type="text"><br>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="SEND">
<p style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: -10px;"> *Required fields</p><br>
<input checked type="checkbox" id="mailingList"/>
<p style="display: inline-block; font-size: 75%;">
Receive exclusive membership deals and offers.</p>
</form>
</div>
</div>
You need to use labels
<label><input type="checkbox" value=" id="mailingList">Receive exclusive membership deals and offers.</label>
Here is the jsfiddle demo: https://jsfiddle.net/o4qgu4gv/2/
You should also consider using col-sm-6 instead of col-xs-6 because it may look nice on an iPhone 4 screen
if it is for the checkbox or any input type tag in particular then a more suitable choice would be to use a label tag instead of a paragraph.
You could use label with its for attribute and it should work fine.
<div id="wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" id="btn"> check
<label for="btn">
this should not shift
</label>
</div>
