RE: XHTML 1.1 and Forms

It took me a while, but I finally got around to checking this out. Thank you
for helping with this! You can delete the page now.

Hi John, me again :-)

I finally got this to validate.  Wrapped the form in a DIV (rather than P as
I suggested before - sorry about that, I got the wrong element - the main
reason for that is to center the form - the page still validates without the
DIV), and then wrapped the content of the form inside a P - INPUT elements
are inline elements, and it appears they need more than just FORM around
them to validate in XHTML.

You can see a copy of your page, with the changes that got it to validate,
at http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/dms/test/testpage.html.  I'll take that off
the server once I know you've seen it.

Regards,
Donna
