Description Chris 2009-02-21 05:46:16 UTC 
I've tried to validate this code:

<!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>Calculator</title>
</head>
<body>

<form method="get" action="./">

<input type="text" value="" name="ii" />

</form>

</body>
</html>

But it doesn't accept the <input> tag. It says 

Line 10, Column 39: document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of ...[a long list of tags]... start-tag

It works in XHTML Transitional, though.

As the validator says, <input> is not allowed directly in <form> in XHTML 1.0 Strict.  Wrap it in one of the "[a long list of tags]".
