here are some tips on validation. (you may or may not know these things,
i'm assuming by the code you've written that you do not. so forgive me
if i am assuming too much.)

1. change all your onClick event thingy's to lower case. i.e. onClick =>
onclick, onMouseOver => onmouseover.
2. change get="POST" to get="post"
3. all single tag (i don't know the proper term for this) elements (i.e.
<img>, <br>, <input>) require a terminating slash when using XHTML as
your doctype. so... you have quite a few errors that say "end tag for
'input' omitted..." what this means is, "add a / to the end of the tag
like so... <br/>, <input ... />, <img ... />, etc."
4. there are some <div class=content> which should be <div
class="content">. xhtml requires that every attribute be in quotes.
5. yes i do believe the uppercase <P>'s are causing you trouble. you
have <p>...</P> which i think is wrong. should be all lowercase or
uppercase? not sure about this one since i never use uppercase in my
markup.

that is all, carry on.
