Layout / CSS issues...

(side note: certain words are intentionally misspelled, and have dashes in them, in order to get through the stupidly-paranoid filter)
case in point: viewing the source for the page with the Incredible Missing Submit Button, I've noticed something interesting. Namely, an amazing example of using an IMG tag inside a P element. Wow, I bet the guys who wrote the W3C standards for HTML couldn't even imagine that one!
Why the hell would you enclose an image inside a text element like paragraph? How about
text
? Or ? If you so desperately need to "s-t-i-l-e" an image display, either apply the CSS directly to the IMG tag (doink), or at least throw it inside a SPAN or a DIV. Which is what they were meant for - GENERIC containers for stuff.
Another little thing (which could have caused this issue), is the apparent love for mixing & matching percentage units, straight PX values, and even esoteric crap like "points". This is the kind of "edge case" that's almost GUARANTEED to break on one browser or another. Pick a value system and go with it - pixels and percentages don't play well with each other.
And last but not least, I decided to run the page through the W3C Markup Validator (http://validator.w3.org/) (just for the sheer, unadulterated hell of it), and it came up with, not the typical dozen-or-so, but THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE issues!
Holy *&^%... Thanks for giving me a GREAT example of how NOT to code webpages... I'll be saving a copy and using it in my k-l-a-s-s-e-s.
