"Your HTML is fine...."

Not really, unless -- a la Bill Clinton -- what you mean depends on how you define "fine." It's not "fine" by the specs because, as noted above, it's lacking both head and body tags (and their closes) to satisfy the w3c "loose" standard and ... and it's not even close to "strict" ...nor to good practice.

If you mean "is not the cause of your problem," it would be better to say that, than to make a statement which -- strictly or loosely -- does not comport with the facts.

Even this version of OP's code is at least one short of a dozen in terms of compliance with w3c -- tho that ommission and some of the edits are inconsequential to OP's problem.
