  The deuteron form factors are calculated in the framework of the relativistic
nucleon-meson dynamics, by means of the explicitly covariant light-front
approach. The inflluence of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors is
discussed.
  At $Q^2\leq 3$ (GeV/c)$^2$ the prediction for the structure function $A(Q^2)$
and for the tensor polarization observable $t_{20}$ are in agreement with the
recent data of CEBAF/TJNAF.
