I've a need of span within a form... but it doesn't validate, so I need a better substitute.

So, I've:

[1 text field] [some text] [2 text field] [submit btn]

When I use span for [some text], all is good as it's an inline object everything aligns perfectly. But when I try to use div with display:inline alignment goes crazy.

I don't want to mess with floats. Is there a simple substitute for span inside form?

Why do you need to replace the span element in the first place? And can you setup a jsfiddle.net of your issue? – RepWhoringPeeHaa Jan 29 at 13:57
span is invalid xhtml. – Sandro Dzneladze Jan 29 at 15:38

<label>

is the right tag to put in in a form, if you want to describe what the user should write in the field. It's an inline html element.
