Hi, after looking at the HTML, I have to point out that you can only use an
id once per page or every id on the page needs to be unique.  Thus, an id is
usually used structure the page elements.  Please use the following to
validate your document:

http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input+with_options

Good luck,
