[DJW:]
It is not valid and it *does not* pass the W3C validator (you could
have done this test yourself or deduced it from the spec):
Line 5, column 47:
<form method=get action="http://www.w3c.org/">
^
Error: element "FORM" not allowed here; possible cause is an inline element
containing a block-level element (explanation... </docs/errors.html>)
Line 7, column 6:
<td>
^
Error: element "TD" not allowed here; check which elements this element may
be contained within (explanation... </docs/errors.html>)
Line 12, column 5:
</tr>
^
Error: missing a required sub-element of "TR" (explanation...
</docs/errors.html>)
[DJW:] The actual test a case (which also produces a misisng
DOCTYPE warning, because I knew that the validator default would
be OK for the rest of the test) is:
<html>
<title>Test</title>
<table>
<tr>
<form method=get action="http://www.w3c.org/">
<td>
<!-- the form is here -->
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
