Source code of the page.

Have you tried running your code through a validator?

I noticed that throughout your code, you have a </font> tag after all of your input boxes.

Example:
Code:
<p align="left"> Name: 
          <input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="20" />
  </font></p>

Know of any good code validators?
