.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / April 2008ASPNET 2.0 do I need to put everything inside <div>
We know we need to put inside the <form> element, because the ASP control needs postback. If a particular ASP control doesn't need postback, it doesn't really need to be inside the <form> element. Now, why there is a <div> element inside the <form> and it seems to me that everybody is putting their ASP controls in it. Thanks in advance. You don't have to put your controls inside a <form>. Not 100% sure on the rules, but individual controls that need the viewstate seem to error if placed outside the <form>. However you can put custom controls outside the <form>. In above I assume <form> is a server-side form with runat="server" If you want to use non-ASP controls you can put them outside the form, or you can even have multiple forms on the page as long as only one has runat="server" and they are not nested. You don't need to put your controls in the <div> either, you can delete it, it is just part of the blank page template. > We know we need to put inside the <form> element, because the ASP > control needs postback.

The nice thing about <div>s is that you can use a StyleSheet! This makes formating and mantainence very easy. Steve Thanks for the info. If it is just because of CSS, then I think I can afford to do without it. It is not difficult to add the <DIV> later when I really need to format the entire page with CSS. :) > Putting your controls inside a <div> element is recomended. > The nice thing about <div>s is that you can use a StyleSheet!

The form just defones the behvaior for inner fields and is not considered as a container. Or something similar... Try to validate once the tag is removed to see if it sill passes... -- Patrice Thanks for the info. If it is just because of CSS, then I think I can afford to do without it.

This is because whatever you show must be inside an inline or a block element. Similarly you can't use ...<body>SomeText</body>... you have to wrap SomeText inside for example a span or a div.... -- Patrice > AFAIK this is a compliance issue.
