  • 0

I don’t know what is wrong with these html tags:W3C validator insists the button is not accepted:

<div id='mainDiv'>
    <div id='div1' >
    <form id='SampleFormID' action=''>
    <input type='button' id='downloadSample' ><br>
    </form>
    </div>
</div>

W3C error:

    Line 144, Column 49: document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; 
    missing one of "P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", 
    "ADDRESS" start-tag


I'm using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">.

    You have to put the input-element inside a div for example.

    <div id='mainDiv'>
    <div id='div1' >
    <form id='SampleFormID' action=''>
        <div><input type='button' id='downloadSample' ></div>
    </form>
    </div>
</div>
