XHTML <form> and <input> usage
Greetings,
For a textbook, there is a search page towards the end containing a text field which is getting flagged:
Code:
<form action="" method="get">
<div>
<input name="q" type="text" value="" /> <input type="submit" value="search" /> <span class="sgc-2" id="search-progress"></span>
</div>
</form>
There are 4 errors within ePubCheck 1.2 from the above code:

Check finished with warnings or errors!
According to w3schools, the <form> element isn't allowed in XHTML; however even after taking out the <form> element and leaving <input> the last two errors above still appear, even with <div> or <p> tags surrounding it. Any help is appreciated!!
