Adsense doesn't validate

... oh, and your contact form is broken Google!

I've tried contacting google but their contact page keeps asking me to enter my email address ... which I already had ...

Basically, all my sites try to be validated. I've just added adsense for search to my pages and they don't validate. The W3C validation tool I use says:

Line 237, character 61:
... value="Google Search"></input>
^Error: end tag for element INPUT which is not open; try removing the end tag or check for improper nesting of elements

Line 239, character 52:
... ame="forid" value="1"></input>
^Error: end tag for element INPUT which is not open; try removing the end tag or check for improper nesting of elements

Line 240, character 63:
... l" value="9568890651735"></input>
^

and so on. Why is this? Has anyone else asked Google?

What is happening on line 236, 238 and what is the rest of 239? I know that when errors are generated, its usually the line of code before what's listed.
If you want you can sticky me the section of code. Can't help you with google problem though...

eh? I'm talking about HTML W3C validation, not scripting debugging. The few lines before and after are all the same, Google search box coding. The error is quite clear as far as I can see, there is no open input tag yet google puts a </input> at the end of every line.

I've used Google's Sitesearch for years and there has always been a W3C-compliant form with opening and closing <input> tags.
