IIRC technically the < and > should be HTML entity encoded.
depending on browser/server/doctype combination that also may
be giving the OP a problem?
e.g.
<input type="text" name="<Group>" />
....
looking into this a little further I discover the following information
at w3c:
(here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name)
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
which suggests that even though a < and/or > in a name attribute value
can/does work it might not be a good idea to use it.
