<!-- unexpected html. missing form element once it is rendered to page -->

<div class="modal-body">	
	<p>This is a safety feature so you don't do something you didn't mean to do.</p>

	<div class="control-group">
		<div class="controls">
			<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Your Account Password">
		</div>
	</div>
	<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Confirm</button>
</div>

<!-- view file with form element in tact -->

<form action="" method="post" id="password-confirmation-form">
  <p>This is a safety feature so you don't do something you didn't mean to do.</p>

	<div class="control-group">
		<div class="controls">
			<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Your Account Password" />
		</div>
	</div>
