Hi chaps,
quick question. Is a html form tag always required when you add a form to the html? In other words if you have a form and leave out the form tag will the code still validate? I have heard some saying that a form tag is only necessary if the form passes data to the server or something like that. The reason for the question is that when I develop a web page for a CMS - sorry can't remember the name of this cms off the top of my head - it adds its own form tag straight after the body tag, whether there is a form or not, so that all the content after the body tag is effectively contained inside a form tag. The problem is that this cms accepts only 1 form tag, so if I happen to have a form in my html I can't use the tag anymore (if you try to use it the cms replaces it with a normal div, I don't know whether this is a bug that came with it or a feature)
thanks
