xhtml validation

[al1]

Hello,

I am trying to validate a XHTMl 1.1 form on w3.org but get the message:

Line 57, Column 43: document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "ins", "del", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "p", "div", "address", "fieldset" start-tag

<input type="text" name="name" size="50" />

the code i am using is:

 <form method="post" action="name.php">
  <p>namep>
<input type="text" name="name" size="50" />
<p>info:</p> 
    <p>
      <textarea name="info" rows="8" cols="60"></textarea>
      </p>
    <p>
      <input type="text" name="enter" value="enter" />
        </p>
</form>

any help would be great.

Thanks guys.

Not sure what that is, but what it is saying is that the inputs need to be surrounded in a block level element:

<form method="post" action="name.php">
 <div>
  <label for="name">Name</label><br /> 
  <input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="50" /><br />
  <label for="message">Info</label><br /> 
  <textarea name="info" rows="8" cols="60" id="message"></textarea><br />
  <input type="button" name="enter" value="enter" />
 </div>
</form>

That should work!

The forum did not like the : (colon) in the code after teh label names. Also why using XHTML 1.1?

Also on top of what BPartch said, you could add a fieldset and legend

<form action="">
    <fieldset>
        <legend>...</legend>
        ....
    </fieldset>
</form>

I was gonna mention that, but figured I'd wait til the OP replied.
