Thanks, Mike, for a great reference page!

Note: When I suggested containing form elements within P tags (rather
than div), I didn't mean each  field would be a separate paragraph! In
forms, it's often suitable to place a subheading (such as "info about
you") in front of a column of fields such as name, address, etc. --
that's all one paragraph (P), with elements I usually separate with <br
/> (break, for those of you with HTML e-mail readers).

I use a few paragraphs, usually, to contain many input fields. It's been
legal as long as I've been doing it (I checked way back in '98 or so,
when I first began incorporating forms within HTML pages -- initially
forms had to be separate pages). (-8
