Hi, i am designing my website in the above and have an error with just putting

 

<input />

 

i need to but something around it.. do i put <p> or <span> or something else?

The problem isn't that you need to put something around it, it's that your tag is empty and has no attributes. The <input> tag has necessary attribtues in order for it to be considered valid. More info here:

exactly what i did....

 

if i put the <p><input></p> it works fine.. without the <p> its a no no

That's correct. You need to put inputs in a block level element. A <p> or a <div> will do the trick.
