If I validate a document against HTML 4.01 doctype and the document contains a form where input elements are not wrapped into block-level containers (try just <form action=""><input></form>), I get the message document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; missing one of "P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS" start-tag This is at least seriously misleading, if not simply wrong. There are many other elements that could be used here, such as FIELDSET or TABLE. The list cannot even be taken as a practical suggestion on the typical elements to use (and if it were, it should be worded differently), since surely most of the elements listed are _uncommon_ in forms - and it would be rather odd to wrap an INPUT element inside a heading element, as the message seems to be suggesting as one feasible option! :-) -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
