HTML Validation errors

  1. Hi,

    Just been checking my new build for HTML validity and I'm getting a number of errors from the markup produced by Gravity forms, like this..

    end tag for element "p" which is not open
    …' id='gform_wrapper_2' ></p>

    …ton_2').attr('disabled', true).after('<' + 'img id="gform_ajax_spinner_2" cla…

    Is there a way of clearing this invalid markup up?

    Cheers,

    Michael.

    I'm just gonna go try removing that and see what happens..

    Yeah it looks like a theme or plugin is adding in a bunch of paragraph tags.

    You'll want to do the following to test for sure.

    Then you'll want to find the source of the issue. If it is a theme or plugin, you'll want to contact the author about all the paragraph tags that are being added.
