    My side bar lost all it’s formatting and do not how to get it back. The issue started Tuesday night. I have checked with HostGator and they claim their servers are fine. The only change that was made was removing the code for the search box and replacing it with Google Site Search for businesses. That change was made Monday afternoon and all was running fine. I followed the direction on the theme site to make the change. I have had other programers confirm the change was made correctly.

    Please Help me to reformat my sidebar!!!

    Must be a php or css error from editing your theme. Post your URL here so people can look at the page source.

    You’ve got missing paragraph and table closing tags that are causing the sidebar problems. You can ignore the errors having to do with unencoded ampersands, but fitx the other problems. Scroll down through the validation report for the line numbers of the errors in the source code. [Invalid]Markup Validation of remarkabledogs.com/ – W3C Markup Validator

    Thank you again for your help. As it turned out when I removed the theme search box and replaced it i took out one line of code too much.
    I also went through the report you provided and found all of the open tags it pointed out to already be closed. Is it normal for this report return errors like that which are really not errors?

    Glad that worked for the sidebar. For the other errors, a </p> is not a closing tag for a table with an opening tag of <td style=.... Try taking the white space out in the wordpress editor; the editor adds paragraph tags when it sees white space and sometimes add closing tags without opening <p>tags.
