Forms in 4.01 strict

error messages re tag <input>

[gstick]

I rarely use forms. Now I need a response form and I am getting an error message that "In HTML 4.01 Strict the tag <form> cannot contain a tag <input>. What is the alternative?

The <form> element [w3.org] cannot directly contain <input> as a child. Form can only include block or script elements. So typically the best way to create your form is to include an inner <div> element. For example:

<form action="#">
<div>
  <input ...>
  ...
</div>
</form>

Fotiman thanks for the quick reply.
