The problem is the "a" tag should be written like:
<a href="[link here]">Visible Text Here</a>
You are missing that end.
But again, back to #2, why do you have an "a" link tag there? These are inputs for a form. So your form action should be the link that you have in the "a" tag. If you just want an image that goes to another page, don't use form elements, just use an image with an "a" tag around it.
Even the first part of your code still has validation issues now that I look back at it:
<div id="deadline_div">Registration Deadline: Sept 21, 2012</div>
<div id="gold_add_div"><br></br><input type="hidden" name="storeid" value="*30b37dbf574fef4e8006b0a2fb04bef6a64a024defdac914c331"/>
Should be:
<div id="deadline_div">Registration Deadline: Sept 21, 2012</div>
<div id="gold_add_div"><br></br><input type="hidden" name="storeid" value="*30b37dbf574fef4e8006b0a2fb04bef6a64a024defdac914c331">
And that would mean you are missing a </div> at the end and you should use "padding-top" attribute of CSS on your gold_add_div and not 2 "br" tags.
