already answered, I'm a full-time coder and don't have an internet at

so I can't make any deep researches in your archives.
Q: Is it possible that hidden inputs don't have to be in a semantic tag?
That is it passes the validation test without showing this error up:
line 20 column 32 - Error: document type does not allow element "input"
here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div",
"pre",
"address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag
It's because hidden inputs aren't meant to be shown to the front-end
user
so it doesn't mean if it's not covered in a semantic tag. Sometimes it's
O.K., you have a form with a few fieldsets so you can put it in one, but
sometimes it's rather stupid having to do <div><input type="hidden"
name="somename" value="somevalue" /></div> just to silence the
validator.
Thank you,

Big question here is, why is this necessary? You only use hidden inputs
in
a form. If you have a form, you'll have other inputs (at least a <input
type=submit> or <button type=submit>), which *do* have to obey those
semantic limits, and thus will be wrapped in an appropriate tag. Why
can't
you just stuff your hidden inputs in there along with them? The exact
location of a hidden input is of absolutely no consequence in any way
(except for it being in the appropriate <form>, of course), so you should
always have an appropriate place for them.

I can't really remember at the very moment, but I remember having some
trouble with it with in my php script. I will try to look into it again
and let you know where the problem was.
