Form tag makes everything disappear

Question

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!

The opening and closing form tags should go around the table
or in the
SAME <td> cell. At the moment you have one form tag in
one <td> cell and
its closing one in another one.
Should be like this:
<form name="contact" method="post" action="">
<table width="400" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="114" valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0"><div
align="right">Name:</div></td>
<td width="274">
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0"><div
align="right">E-mail:</div></td>
<td><input name="Email" type="text"
id="Email"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0"><div
align="right">Subject:</div></td>
<td><input name="Subject" type="text"
id="Subject"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0"><div
align="right">Message:</div></td>
<td><textarea name="Message" cols="35" rows="10"
id="Message"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
<td><input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit"
value="Submit"> <input name="Reset" type="reset"
id="Reset"
value="Reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
