Simple testcase

Details 
This is probably some stupid error on my behalf, but I can't separate two
textfields using BR.

In the testcase, the buttons are positioned side-by-side. Expected: vertical.

Using build 20000-90704.

    
    

    
  
The strict DTD ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html ) only allows block 
element in a form. If you change the DOCTYPE to transitional the br element are 
recognized.

Marking verified invalid. Acoording the Strict DTD, BR elements can't be inside a 
form element.


    
    

    
  
Ok thanks for the quick check. So how am I supposed to layout form elements 
then when using a strict DTD? Thanks in advance.

    
    

    
  
With the Strict DTD, the idea is to use CSS for layout and not presentation 
elements like BR , Strike, or B (bold).

Chris, thanks. What's the functional equivalent of BR in CSS?
