While we are on the topic of the <form...>...</form> tags, just a side

note. It is invalid HTML syntax to have any tag between your

</td><ILLEGAL></tr><ILLEGAL></table> But something like: <table><TR><TD>stuff here</TD></TR></table> is okay right? Just wanted to double check since that's how all my stuff is and it works... but just because it works doesn't mean it's right :)

    Jim points out the correct XHTML layout, which shows "ok here"

(or, as you have it, "stuff here") between the td/TD tags. Case doesn't matter, but does make it look sloppy. In addition, case /should/ matter when matching closing to opening tags. For example, try to avoid <td></TD> and mix-and-match versions thereof.

    Keep in mind, no matter what, even the following will still Just

    <input type="Hidden" name="field1" value="value1">
