That's not quite what it is saying. It is saying you can't have an input
element *directly* within a form.
Would some kind soul please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
<form> cannot directly contain inline elements, so the <input> needs to
be inside another block element, such as <fieldset> or <div> (preferably
fieldset).

Strict HTML requires that the children of FORM elements may only be
block-level, or SCRIPT elements. An INPUT is neither. Contain the form
controls in a DIV, or a more meaningful element (if possible).
The BODY element has the same constraint.

Forms have the same content model as the <body>. They can have block
elements as children but not inline elements. You need to put a block
element (or elements) (such as a <div>, <fieldset> or <table>) inside the
<form> and your <label>s and <input>s inside that.

Such as a FIELDSET, a useful way to group controls inside a form, and
to label the groups using the LEGEND element.
The BODY element has the same constraint.

The fieldset element is for grouping related controls and labels, the
above is therefore inappropriate.

I assumed the provided page was a stripped-down version of a form to
demonstrate the problem, therefore the real page would indeed have
several related controls. The DTD requires that a block level element
should enclose all items within a form therefore you have several to
choose from. Is <p> appropriate? (It's not a paragraph of text). Is
<div> appropriate? (Maybe if it's a separate division of the document).
I would argue that fieldset is probably the most appripriate element to
use. I don't think that this point is really important - I pointed out
that a block level element is required and to try fieldset as an
example, it's up to the author to decide what element he uses.
What element would you use in this case?

Div, div's are non semantic nor do they signify any structure, so your
assertion that divs should only be used for "divisions" is incorrect.

No, div is devined as grouping element. So it makes no sence to have
<div><img></div>, as you can't group one element.
But using div for that is much better than p for example http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.5.4
| The DIV and SPAN elements, in conjunction with the id and class

Would you care to offer any practical advice instead of a robotic "your
statement is incorrect"? *I* think your statements are incorrect.

You asked what element I would use, I answered "div", how's that not
"practical"?

Fine, I don't care. If you want to start a discussion then you have to
do better. Provide an argument as to why you think I'm incorrect.
