This is XHTML 1.0 Transitional, though. The W3C validator does flag the missing block element if the form is part of an HTML 4.01 document, but doesn't flag it in an XHTML 1.0 Transitional document. To check whether this is an error in the validator I looked up the DTD and didn't find the same requirement as HTML 4.01, and I didn't see this requirement documented in the spec. It's possible that I missed it. > lucas gonze wrote: > >> Labels and inputs in forms are incorrectly flagged as invalid.
