Validation

[j05hr]

How would you validate this in xhtml strict? I had a look on google but everyone seemed to be doing it the exact same way.

<label for="contactYou" class="fixedwidth">Best way to contact you?</label>
       <select name="contactYou" id="contactYou">     
                <option>Home</option>
                <option>Work</option>
                <option>Mobile</option>    
      </select>

Error Line 111, Column 28: document type does not allow element "label" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag

<label for="contactYou">Best way to contact you?</label>

Thanks,
Josh

Those elements need to be inside of a fieldset or paragraph element. A fieldset is probably most semantic. You could use a paragraph but that won't really be semantic. Neither will the other elements.
