A few practical notes tied to the replies above.

The phrase "w3 school" can mean different things. The validator most people use is the W3C Markup Validation Service (W3C validator); W3Schools is a separate tutorial site. The validator reports exact errors and line numbers; reading the first error and fixing it often clears many follow-on messages. For client-side guidance see the MDN form-validation guide (MDN Form validation).

Following what , and suggested: include a minimal reproducible snippet, the full validator error text (copy/paste), the document doctype, and whether validation should be client-side (HTML5/JS) or server-side (PHP). As asked, specify what is being validated (email, number, required field, etc.). Small, focused examples make diagnosis fast.

Common, repeatedly useful checks: confirm the correct doctype (HTML5 uses <!doctype html>), close and properly nest tags, escape ampersands as &amp;, ensure inputs that must submit data have a name attribute, avoid duplicate IDs, and match HTML features to the doctype (HTML5 attributes need an HTML5 doctype). Fix the first validator error, then re-run.

Minimal valid HTML5 form example:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Sample</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="/submit" method="post">
      <label for="email">Email</label>
      <input id="email" name="email" type="email" required>
      <button type="submit">Send</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hey papadarl,

Could you be a little more specific as to what your problem is? What are you trying to do? What have you done? What issues are you having?

Member Avatar for pritaeas

You'll need to be a little more specific: what are they saying, and what don't you understand.

I am trying to build a Web Site for My School assignment if you want I can send you a copy of the code I am useing

Member Avatar for JorgeM

You dont have to send a copy to anyone in particular, if you post the code and specify what the problem is, you have a lot of people willing to review it.

Agree with JorgeM. Please be more specific about the question: eg. you wish to validate the email, number or empty field? validation is carried out server based(php) or client based(javascript/jquery)?
