        &lt;form id="form_6" class="digitalfuture"  method="post" action="#main_body"&gt;
                    &lt;div class="form_description"&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;                      
            &lt;ul &gt;

                    &lt;li id="li_8" &gt;
        &lt;label class="description"&gt;Name &lt;span id="required_8" class="required"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
        &lt;span&gt;
            &lt;input id="element_8_1" name= "element_8_1" class="element text" maxlength="255" size="8" value="hello" /&gt;
            &lt;label&gt;First&lt;/label&gt;
