Is it correct to use DIV inside FORM?
Question by demas
I’m just wondering what are you thinking about DIV-tag inside FORM-tag?
I need something like this:
<form>
<input type="text"/>
<div> some </div>
<div> another </div>
<input type="text" />
</form>
Is it general practice to use DIV inside FORM or I need something different?

No, its not
<div> tags are always abused to create a web layout. Its symbolic purpose is to divide a section/portion in the page so that separate style can be added or applied to it. [w3schools Doc] [W3C]
It highly depends on what your some and another has.
HTML5, has more logical meaning tags, instead of having plain layout tags. The section, header, nav, aside everything have their own semantic meaning to it. And are used against <div>
