Okay, I turned back on the Monthly drop-down, and this is the W3.org error I’m getting:
Error Line 177 column 36: document type does not allow element "form" here; assuming missing "li" start-tag.
<form id="archiveform" action="">
Error Line 186 column 8: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.
</ul>
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
Info Line 177 column 4: start tag was here.
<form id="archiveform" action="">
I also added the dropdown cats and as I said before, they look beautiful in Safari and Firefox but totally broken in IE 6.0.
Here is my sidebar code:
<div id="sidebar">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Go Somewhere') . '</h2>' ); ?>
<?php if ( is_home() || is_single() || is_archive()|| is_category()) : ?>
<li><h2><?php _e('Previously'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<form name="catform" action="/index.php">
<select name="cat" onchange="submit(this.form)">
<option value=''>by section</option>
<?php dropdown_cats(); ?>
</select>
</form> </ul>
</li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<form id="archiveform" action="">
<select name="archive_chrono" onchange="window.location =
(document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono[document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono.selectedIndex].value);">
<option value=''>Select Month</option>
<?php get_archives('monthly','','option'); ?>
</select>
</form>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( is_page('Link-A-Rama')) : ?>
<?php
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
<li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><h2><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( is_page('This Is Me')) : ?>
<li><h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<li><a href="https://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="<?php _e('This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional'); ?>"><?php _e('Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr>'); ?></a></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2>Search me</h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
Thanks in advance for any advice.
