I have this code from line 40 to 62 which does not validate, as it is the google free search can anyone help me to validate it?
Code:
<div id="navigation">
<form id="search">
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Begins  -->
<form action="http://www.google.com/cse" id="searchbox_003119959939038504956:xrke8d9eiyi">
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="003119959939038504956:xrke8d9eiyi">
<input type="text" name="q" size="25">
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search">

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=searchbox_003119959939038504956%3Axrke8d9eiyi&lang=en"></form></script>
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Ends -->
<ol id="menu">
     <li><a href="tutorials.htm">» tutorials</a></li>
      <li><a href="shortcuts.htm">» shortcut keys</a></li>
      <li><a href="vassistant.htm">» virtual assistant</a></li>

      <li><a href="prsentations.htm">» presentations</a></li>
      <li><a href="webdesign.htm">» web design</a></li>
      <li><a href="blog.htm">» blog articles</a></li>
      <li><a href="careers.htm">» career links</a></li>
      <li><a href="reviews.htm">» reviews</a></li>
      </ol>
</div>


the validator does not like the form and says more should be added to it, it says I have left off tags and points out the div should not be there but it is part of the navigation div. I cannot understand what the WC3 says.

Two <form> tags and only one </form> tag?
Not well-formed HTML as your </form> is buried between <script> and </script>. Those two won't help validation although did Google give you this stuff as you show it?

I saw that I had two form tags, so I made the <form id search> into a div.
Google gave me the rest so I added <p> and </p> tags and it worked.

Wish that javascript was so easy to validate.
