I did xhtml for a music survey form and my page is not validating properly. All the elements are correct but it still will not validate at w3.org/validator. Please help me fix what needs to be changed in order for my page to validate. Thank you and God bless. Here is my code.

These are the errors I received when validating.
Line 73, Column 7: end tag for element "form" which is not open
</form>✉
The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.
If this error occurred in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.
Line 73, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: body line 11 and form
</form>✉
Line 76, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: html line 4 and body
</body>
