This page suffers and from divitis, and from spannitis, and from classitis!!! :eek: (and a touch of inline-style-itis, too).
It needs to be put to bed immediately and a doctor should be consulted on short notice.

Seriously: there are a couple of other elements besides div and span... :rolleyes: And, what's the use of the form if there's not a single form-related element in it?
By the way: what do you mean exactly by "not working"?
