title: Errors found, tag div or p, Valid XHTML
body: <p>I am trying to validate my document as XHTML 1.0 Transitional (W3C).
  I have the following error:
  document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
  which corresponds to this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>also error: document type does not allow element "p" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="form-span"&gt;Do &lt;input type="checkbox" name="own" value="yes" /&gt; rent &lt;input type="checkbox" name="rent" value="yes" /&gt; other &lt;input type="checkbox" name="rentother" value="Other" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>code fragment:</p>
  
  <pre><code>!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional
  ...
  &lt;body&gt;
  &lt;form id="form1" ...&gt;
  ...
  &lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="form-span"&gt;Do &lt;input type="checkbox" name="own" value="yes" /&gt; rent &lt;input type="checkbox" name="rent" value="yes" /&gt; other &lt;input type="checkbox" name="rentother" value="Other" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;span style="width:100%;"&gt;
  ...
  &lt;input id="i1oc_yes" type="radio" name="i1oc" value="yes" /&gt;
  &lt;input id="i1oc_no" type="radio" name="i1oc" value="no" /&gt;
  ...
  &lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  ...
  &lt;/span&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know what is the problem.
  Thanks!</p>
