8,712 PointsThe error code 500 is not something caused by your code. As you can see, it says internal server error.
In addition, HTML code will typically not generate any errors ever. The page may looked messed up if you have an error, but it won't "crash", unless you use some form of strict doctype.
So the error here should be server-side.
PS: Your code doesn't look like a wall as you pasted it, right? It's missing indentation and line breaks.

11,194 Pointsyes, when I pasted the code it turned into that ugly mess.
