Shouldn't that link be /checkout/ without the extra "</label" that looks as part of some HTML code (i.e. you may have forgotten the closing quote and closing ">" tag) ?

Hi Cor-el Thanks for the speedy response It is not supposed to be a link it is a button, or at least its used to be and still is to other browsers. THe images show the inspector and the button as it appears on the web page, do you need more from inspector? REgards csb

There is an unclosed link anchor tag at the end of:

They can be changed at any time by either amending your personal profile or by

The sentence doesn't finish and seems to be missing a link, the unclosed anchor tag breaks the rest of the page.

The easiest route is to use the donation button.

There's a wrong code in the form, as stated previously by @zeroknight. You have to show it to your programmers.

Thanks, that is the problem. They are no longer around. I assume the code should be </lable>. We just need to find the line in the code.
