What can forms contain?

I'm trying to keep my pages standards compliant, therefore, what am I allowed to place between <form></form> tags?

What am I not allowed to place between these tags?

Can I place markup between the tags, such as: <div><p><b><fieldset><legend><img><br>

Thanks!

I wear a lot of hats...

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

A form can contain text and markup (paragraphs, lists, etc.) in addition to form controls.

Yes. What you are not allowed to put inside a <form> tag pair, is tags like <head> <body> or <html>. The link ozo sent is a good resource to learn. You can check your HTML to ensure it is valid code, using this page too:
