This message may appear in several cases:
You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "&lt;"
You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&amp;", which is always safe.
Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.

Line 43, Column 5: marked section end not in marked section declaration

So i used recommended source input for validation.

I changed line 34 and 44 as the validate instructions.
34.
if (((keyCode >= 65 && keyCode <= 90) && !shiftKey) || ((keyCode >= 97 && keyCode <= 122) && shiftKey))
43.
// ]]></script>


After changing those two lines as w3c recommended my forum validated as w3c html.

But when i browsing my smf forum iam getting error as "templete parse error"
Even iam not using basic html in my forum for posts.

So please help me.
Thanking you.

First of all, it should validate only HTML / output part, it has nothing to do with your PHP. WHen it says problem in line 43 then it is problem in html output but not in your source . So technically line 34 is in your HTML out which you see through CTRL+U when viewing in Firefox or Opera !

Thank you very much brother.
Now my problem solved.
