i have this, but i am trying to get it to validate, i have solved most the errors but it is just one that is getting the better of me, here is the code
<?php
//get this month and year
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y");
$jump = isset($_POST['jump']) ? $_POST['jump'] : (isset($_GET['jump']) ? $_GET['jump'] : $month);
require('main.php');
$month_tots = array();
for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++) $month_tots[$i] = 0; // ensure total for every month
$res = mysql_query ("SELECT MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) as mth, COUNT(*) AS num
FROM form
WHERE YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) = '$year'
GROUP BY mth");
while (list($mth, $num) = mysql_fetch_row($res))
{
$month_tots[$mth] = $num; // put month totals in the array
}
/**
* create the dropdown
*/
echo '<form method="post" action="" >
<select name="jump" id="jump" onchange="location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"> ';
foreach ($month_tots as $m => $num)
{
$sel = $jump==$m ? 'selected="selected"':'';
$dt = date ('F Y', mktime(0,0,0,$m, 1, $year));
echo "<option value='index.php?jump=$m' $sel>$dt ($num)</option>";
}
echo '</select></form>'; ?>
<?php mysql_close($conn); ?>
this is the offending line
<select name="jump" id="jump" onchange="location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"> ';
and this is the error
line 44 column 99 - Error: document type does not allow element "select" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag
does anyone know how this can be fixed, thank you]
