html validation fails

[Morten Snedker]

(http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://test.planprojekt.dk/vaerk.aspx)
fails validation.

It fails due to tags not being closed properly. However, the failing
code is produced dynamically and is regarding a couple of listboxes.

Is there any way for me to get around this failing code?

It fails due to tags not being closed properly.

At the first glance, some 'input' tags look
suspicious. They are closed with '/>', which is
AFAIK an XML-only feature.

You could store the HTML output from within
the browser and reduce the source text until
the validation error disappears.

HTML is now XHTML and is XML, therefore it has a schema which says the Select
tage can not be empty. Yet your Listbox has no items and therefore doesnt
have any options in the select tag. Try adding a blank option to the listbox.

According to W3C it actually does seem like it is the missing "option"
that causes validation to fail.

I'm not aware how to add a blank option as you suggest (or maybe I
just don't know what you mean) - can you help me the last step?

Figured out your suggestion and that did the trick! Thanks to both of
you for your efforts!
