A friend recently encountered something like this. He was putting together
a form, and he wanted two lines to look like this:
Username: ______________
Id: ______________
Instead, it was coming out like this:
Username: ______________
Id: ______________
He finally solved the problem by enclosing the whole thing, <INPUT>
tags and all, inside a PRE element. I was astonished that this worked.
Predictably, it turned out that it worked with one browser (xmosaic) and
not with another (lynx).
The current HTML 3.0 DTD explicitly permits this, and the current HTML 2.0
DTD (which, I am aware, does not necessarily reflect reality) explicitly
prohibits it.
