[Tfug] Arg!!! HTML problems....

[Gregory Gray]

I just wanted to add that although not required for
most browsers... XHTML specification requires all tags
to have some sort of close. It also describes a
"minimized tag syntax" for empty elements -- meaning
elements that have options only and no data between
the tags.

Thus an anchor tag should be <a href="#anchor" />

I try to stay as XHTML compliant as possible even
going with <br /> instead of just <br>

I don't think it usually affects rendering... it may
some day, though....
