error in html search box

[mlduclos]

Hello

I always use the HTML 4.01 valid of W3c validator and now, when checking it, I realize that my page is no longer valid. The cause: the code that google provide in adsense area. I would like to modify it, but TOS forbih any modification in the code, just simple copy and paste.

The errors are

end tag for element "INPUT" which is not open.
end tag for element "IMG" which is not open.

Yes, I have faced the same problem myself. Solution? Write to google?

And if you activate some options, it write a table, which becomes a pain in a tabless site. And I dont understand only 3 colors for the box background!

I wrote to adsense and they suggested some code changes to make the html compliant for transitional - as an exception.
namely, <input blah blah blah></input> can be replaced by <input blah blah blah />
and
<img blah blah blah></img> can be replaced by <img blah blah blah />
