What's wrong with this code

I'm slightly confused as to what is wrong with this code. It works fine, yet in Dreamweaver 4, the FORM tags are highlighted......meaning there is possibly a problem with them. I can't see what it is though.

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

</HEAD>

<BODY  BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#990000" TEXT="#000000">
<font color="#3A3A3A" size="-1" face="Arial,Helvetica,Univers,Zurich BT"> 

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function F1_CountDown() {
		var gp		= new Date("Feb 26, 2002 13:50:00 GMT");
		var countdown	= new Date();
		var gap		= Math.floor((gp.getTime() - countdown.getTime()) / 1000);

		secs 	= gap % 60;
		gap 		= Math.floor(gap / 60);
		mins 	= gap % 60;
		gap		= Math.floor(gap / 60);
		hours	= gap % 24;
		gap		= Math.floor(gap / 24);
		days		= gap;

		document.forms['countdown'].elements['days'].value = (days ? days : 0);
		document.forms['countdown'].elements['hours'].value = (hours < 10 ? "0"+hours : hours);
		document.forms['countdown'].elements['mins'].value = (mins < 10 ? "0"+mins : mins);
		document.forms['countdown'].elements['secs'].value = (secs < 10 ? "0"+secs : secs);

	}
	setInterval("F1_CountDown()",1000);
</script>
    <br>
    </font>
          <tr> 
        <td colspan="3"> 
<form name="countdown">
				<font color="#3A3A3A" size="-1" face="Arial,Helvetica,Univers,Zurich BT"> 
          </font>
        
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" border="0" width="577">
      <tr> 
              <td style="font-family: verdana; color: #000000; font-size: 7.5pt; font-weight: bold;" valign="middle"> 
                &nbsp;&nbsp;
                <input style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #CC0000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 7.5pt; border-width: 0;" name="days" size="2">
                &nbsp;days, 
                <input style="background-color: #ffffff;  font-family: verdana; color: #CC0000; font-size: 7.5pt; border-width: 0;" name="hours" size="1">
                &nbsp;hours, 
                <input style="background-color: #ffffff;  font-family: verdana; color: #CC0000; font-size: 7.5pt; border-width: 0;" name="mins" size="1">
                &nbsp;minutes & 
                <input style="background-color: #ffffff;  font-family: verdana; color: #CC0000; font-size: 7.5pt; border-width: 0;" name="secs" size="1">
          &nbsp;seconds... until the launch of www.amcnab.co.uk </td>
            </tr>
				
</form>
          </table>
        </td>
      </tr>
    
    
      </BODY>
</HTML>

I don't recall ever seeing a "form name =" before.

take a look at http://www.willcam.com/cmat/html/forms.html#Form for some hints.

Managed to "solve" it. I had some tags in the wrong place that were causing errors. Removed the tags, or moved them to the correct place and now everything works fine with no errors

Thanks anyway.
