trouble validating my html. A mystery! Why is w3c complaining about these tags?

1. Warning Line 67, Column 16: unclosed end-tag requires SHORTTAG YES
</fieldset </div>

The construct </foo<bar> is valid in HTML (it is an example of the rather obscure “Shorttags” feature) but its use is not recommended. In most cases, this is a typo that you will want to fix. If you really want to use shorttags, be aware that they are not well implemented by browsers.
2. Error Line 67, Column 16: end tag for "div" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</fieldset </div>

?

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
3. Info Line 15, Column 5: start tag was here

<div id="formwrapper"><form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">

4. Error Line 67, Column 16: end tag for "div" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</fieldset </div>

I couldn't fit them all in but w3c validator appears to be complaining about 10 different tags which are being used in a normal context.
