Any way to change Drupal's default HTML tags?

Is there any way to change Drupal's default HTML tag?
For instance, I want to change:

(the HTML above can be seen in log in submission)

Because it conflicts with w3c HTML validation, thus making my site invalid. Thanks. :)

Ah, I forgot the code tag.
I mean:
<input type="submit" name="op" id="edit-submit" value="Log in" class="form-submit" />
to
<input type="submit" name="op" value="Log in" class="form-submit" />

Thanks.

try to use redefining drupal

try to use redefining drupal theme functions.

for example there is a theme_button() function, which is producing HTML code for a button.
You can override this function using phptemplate engine by creating template.php file in your theme's folder and simply including
new youthemename_button() function into it.

More information on drupal theme functions you can find at api.drupal.org.
And also the online documentation on phptemplate, of course :)

Thanks.. but doesn't work?

Thanks..
I've tried to add the function into phptemplate but it seems won't work.

I'm trying to change:

function bleachin_button($element) {
  // Make sure not to overwrite classes.
  if (isset($element['#attributes']['class'])) {
    $element['#attributes']['class'] = 'form-'. $element['#button_type'] .' '. $element['#attributes']['class'];
  }
  else {
    $element['#attributes']['class'] = 'form-'. $element['#button_type'];
  }

  return '<input type="submit" '. (empty($element['#name']) ? '' : 'name="'. $element['#name'] .'" ') .'id="'. $element['#id'] .'" value="'. check_plain($element['#value']) .'" '. drupal_attributes($element['#attributes']) ." />\n";
}

into

function bleachin_button($element) {
  // Make sure not to overwrite classes.
  if (isset($element['#attributes']['class'])) {
    $element['#attributes']['class'] = 'form-'. $element['#button_type'] .' '. $element['#attributes']['class'];
  }
  else {
    $element['#attributes']['class'] = 'form-'. $element['#button_type'];
  }

  return '<input type="submit" '. (empty($element['#name']) ? '' : 'name="'. $element['#name'] .'" ') .'" value="'. check_plain($element['#value']) .'" '. drupal_attributes($element['#attributes']) ." />\n";
}

(notice that the ID has gone on the 2nd quotation)
But even though I have put away the ID attribute on phptemplate, actually on the site it's just still there. It seems I can't remove the ID.

I'm using Drupal 5 anyway.

looks like you're doing the

looks like you're doing the right thing.
Perhaps the id was coming from the attributes, although I wouldn't have thought so from looking at the code.
could

unset($attributes['id']);

or something do the trick?

Did you try putting other test output into that function to see that it's really the one being used?

Or you can just add

Or you can just add this.

/**
 * Fixes illegal duplicate html id's "edit-sumit". Remove in 6.
 */
function phptemplate_submit($element) {
  static $dupe_ids = array();
  if (isset($dupe_ids[$element['#id']])) {
    $dupe_ids[$element['#id']]++;
    $element['#id'] = $element['#id'] .'-'. $dupe_ids[$element['#id']];
  }
  else {
    $dupe_ids[$element['#id']] = 0;
  }
  return theme('button', $element); 
}

Increments for every duplicate it finds.
