Form error (closing at the beginning of the table)

Question

I am running a query through php in a mysql database. In my result set, I repeat the following table:

        $resultString = '<table>';
        $resultString .= '<tr>';
        $resultString .= '<th>Index</th>';
        $resultString .= '<th>Title</th>';
        $resultString .= '<th>File</th>';
        $resultString .= '<th>Template File</th>';
        $resultString .= '<th>Pretty URL</th>';
        $resultString .= '<th>Parent</th>';
        $resultString .= '<th></th>';
        $resultString .= '</tr>';

        while($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)){
            $resultString .= '<form class="myForm">' ."\n";

            $resultString .= '<tr>' ."\n";

            $resultString .= '<input type="hidden" name="index" value="' . $data['index'] . '">' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<input type="hidden" name="title" value="' . $data['title'] . '">' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<input type="hidden" name="file_name" value="' . $data['file_name'] . '">' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<input type="hidden" name="template_file" value="' . $data['template_file'] . '">' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<input type="hidden" name="child_of" value="' . $data['child_of'] . '">' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<input type="hidden" name="pretty_url" value="' . $data['pretty_url'] . '">' ."\n";

            $resultString .= '<td class="indexTd">' . $data['index'] . '</td>' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<td>' . $data['title'] . '</td>' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<td>' . $data['file_name'] . '</td>' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<td>' . $data['template_file'] . '</td>' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<td>' . $data['pretty_url'] . '</td>' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<td>' . $this->get_parent_select_list($data['child_of'],$data['index']) . '</td>' ."\n";
            $resultString .= '<td class="buttonTd"><input type="button" class="deletePageButton" value="X" onclick="submit_form(this,\'deletePage\')"></td>' ."\n";

            $resultString .= '</tr>' ."\n";

            $resultString .= '</form>' ."\n";
        }

        $resultString .= '</table>';

The table looks great, the only problem is that my form doesn't work at all ... browsing in FireBug I see this:

The form closes because all my input tags can fill it. I tried to put tags inside "<td>" instead of "<tr>" to no avail ....

thoughts?

Answer 1

When you open a tag in another tag, the tag that you open will be closed when it is closed. So:

<p><form></p>
<p></form></p>

Will (or should) result in:

<p><form></form></p>
<p></p>
