I did some digging, and found the problem.</p> <p>On line 1233 of common.php, you have:<br /> return "&lt;div class='ginput_container'&gt;&lt;input name='input_{$id}' type='text' value=''/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;";<br /> which returns no ID for the form, and a wrong name. ( name="input_8" )</p> <p>So, I edited it to look like this:<br /> return "&lt;div class='ginput_container'&gt;&lt;input name='{$field_id}' id='{$field_id}' type='text' value=''/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;";<br /> and it returns the proper information, and I am getting no more validation errors with W3C validator. </p> <p>Just thought you'd like to know, instead of having to track this down yourself. </p>
