Hey Chris
The DTD says:
<!ELEMENT form %form.content;>
So <form> can only contain elements in the %form.content entity.
<!ENTITY % form.content "(%block; | %misc;)*">
So form.content means the %block entitiy & the %misc entity.
<!ENTITY % block
"p | %heading; | div | %lists; | %blocktext; | fieldset | table">
Keep following this sort of logic through the DTD.....
<!ENTITY % heading "h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6">
<!ENTITY % lists "ul | ol | dl">
<!ENTITY % blocktext "pre | hr | blockquote | address">
...and...
<!ENTITY % misc "noscript | %misc.inline;">
<!ENTITY % misc.inline "ins | del | script">
So after all that we can deduce that you are only allowed the following tags
immediately inside your <form>: p, div, fieldset, table, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5,
h6, ul, ol, dl, ins, del, script.
If you read the validator message again:
'Line 36, column 18: document type does not allow element "label" here;
missing one of "ins", "del", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "p", "div",
"address", "fieldset" start-tag'
This is exactly what its saying (almost).
If you change:
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" /><br />
<label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input id="email" name="email"type="text" /><br />
To:
<p><label for="name">Name:</label>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" /></p>
<p><label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input id="email" name="email"type="text" /></p>
You should be right!
Cheers
