Question about CGI Script for Poll/Validation

[palmpal]

Hello,

My website validated to HTML 4.01 until recently. I added a CGI script for a poll and now I have a validation error.

My source code:
form method="post" action="http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/survey/survey.pl">

My error message:
document type does not allow element "FORM" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME" start-tag

Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I'm pretty new to CGI scripts.

Thanks!

seems very strange, I assume you have the < in front of the form tag.
