The error message is pretty clear. You used thomething like:

<input tal:content="whatever" />

With tal:content you can modify the content between the start and end tag.

<b tal:content="string:hello world">dummy content</b> will render:

<b>hello world</b>

But <input></input> is no valid XHTML ...
