I found something interesting so I thought I'd share...
When explicitly declaring a textarea, XHTML transitional validation
fails against the output of the formbuilder...
In my cgi, I create a field, like so:
$form->field(name => 'comments', type => 'textarea', cols => 65, rows => 15);
The output that is generated by formbuilder is like so:
<textarea cols="65" id="comments" name="comments" rows="15"
type="textarea"></textarea>
This fails to validate, according to http://validator.w3.org/check ,
because of the "type" attribute above.
So, I added a line to the Field.pm to delete that attribute like so:
> diff -u Field2.pm Field.pm
--- Field2.pm Sun Feb 19 18:05:48 2006
+++ Field.pm Sun Feb 19 18:06:35 2006

$tag .= '</table>' if $checkbox_table;
}
elsif ($type eq 'textarea') {
+ delete $attr{'type'};
my $text = join "\n", @value;
delete $attr{value};
$tag .= htmltag('textarea', %attr) . escapehtml($text) . '</textarea>';
This fixed it to validate for me... YMMV.
