[drupal-devel] [bug] form() should respect block level elements.

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/23387

 Project:      Drupal

 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Robin Monks

 Status:       patch

You can't remove container-inlines; these ensure that the form elements
are displayed as display: inline.  Removing container-inlines breaks
those forms!

This patch uses a blank div to allow block level ellements (like input>
to go inside the form element per xhtml 1.0 specs.  This patch works
and validates, and is required for validation.

Yes/no?  Please advise.  If this patch is required, we might want to
revise the call sites of form().  I believe some are adding divs to
solve exactly this.

You're right, some calls are using <div class="container-inline"> to do
this.  I'll find these instances and correct them, and then attach a
new patch for this.

Here is the new patch, which also removes unneeded (AFAIK) <div>'s from
form's.

Could you please remove the spaces from your patch name? they break the
link in e-mail clients quite often.. I would prefer not to use spaces
at all inside patch filenames at all, I would encourage you to use
something like 'patch_name.patch'..
