Description

The html Form taglib (<html:form>) produces invalid XHTML 1.1.

It will produce:

<form name="createAccount" method="post"

and the W3C Validator (http://validator.w3.org/) gives this error:

Line 782, column 11: there is no attribute "name"

This is listed as one of the changes from XHTML 1.0 Strict:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/changes.html#a_changes

and checking of the XHTML modularization DTD's confirms the name attribute is
missing. Should be replaced with just the id attribute.
