[REQ] Kurts Color Search Mod HTML Validation problems.. can you help fix??

Im using the late and great color search mod, however my site has 1300 site validation issues which may be keeping google from indexing my site and I am trying to fix them . A lot of issues are errors from his mod, which runs great.

There error is:

Code: [Select] [Expand] [Hide line numbers]

4 # Line 1869, column 27: document type does not allow element "TD" here <input name="search_fields" value="image_farbton" type="hidden">

which with the two lines before and two lines after is this ;

Code: [Select] [Expand] [Hide line numbers]

5 # <form method="post" action="./search.php"> # <td width="12" height="12> # <input name="search_fields" value="image_farbton" type="hidden"> # <input name="search_keywords" value="802000" type="hidden"> # <input name="show_result" value="1" type="hidden">

While trying to get suport from google webmaster forum they suggested I correct these errors...

So why is the TD Element not allowed? I have no idea... thanks if you know!

Typical syntax is attribute="value". * Line 845, column 27: an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter <input name="search_fields" value="image_farbton" type="hidden">
