Why won't this XHTML form validate?
Any ideas why this won't validate here:
http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input
It seems the form input tags are wrong but reading through the XHTML spec they should validate fine. Any ideas?
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="Header">
<table class="HeaderTable">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="Heading">Test <span class="Standard">Test</span>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="Controls">
<form id="ControlForm" method="get" action="Edit.php">
<input type="submit" name="action" id="Edit" value="Edit" />
<input type="submit" name="action" id="New" value="New" />
</form>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Answer
Try putting a fieldset tag around the inputs. I think the idea of forms in XHTML is that they can't have direct descendants that aren't div, fieldset, etc.
