Others have suggested online validators. /usr/ports/www/tidy is another
that can check your code, even attempt repairs. Can also be used to
standardize the coding format much like GNU indent for C code. Comes
built-in to BBEdit on Mac where I do most of my HTML authoring.
Eyeballing your code the first thing that stood out was:
BACKGROUND="/usr/local/www/data/Graphics/paper0.jpg"
Don't think that will work for anyone other than yourself, and only when
you are on the server itself. Unless one has a file with that exact same
name and path.
