Is it wrong to use paragraph tags for html for inputs?

Question

So far I mostly put labels and inputs inside a dedicated paragraph tag : ```

Blah

``` But this tag is made for text paragraph. Is is semantically right to use it this way ? Should a div be used ?

Accepted Answer

Semantically, no, it is not correct. Your form inputs are not paragraphs in any sense of the word. If you're a CSS expert, try using `

` tags and restyling them to look how you like, since your form fields are an ordered list of items. See A List Apart's article on Prettier Accessible Forms for an example of the HTML and CSS necessary for this format.
