Form tag makes everything disappear

[GrloftheCity]

I have been working with DW for years, but just recently upgraded to DW 8, (on
a Mac), and I am noticing a peculiar problem. If you look at the code below,
you will see that I am trying to add form tags to a form that's in a table,
nestled within a table. In looking at the code, it should work, but once I add
that closing "form" tag, the whole editable region and everything in it
completely disappears!

Any ideas on what is going wrong? Thanks!

Your code is invalid. That's why it is disappearing - DW doesn't know what
to do with it.

<td width="274">
<form name="contact" method="post" action="">
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name"></td>

If you are opening a form within a <td>, you must CLOSE it within that same
<td>. You are not doing that. Your best solution would be to wrap the form
around that inner table, rather than putting it within the inner table.
