Me, too. My opinion of leaving tags unclosed is that you're leaving it up to the browser to guess where you want it closed. Possibly not a problem for simple page rendering, but I've heard it can cause weird problems when you use Javascript to modify things. Also, there are tags that are REQUIRED to be closed, so closing every tag establishes a very good habit that can seriously ease debugging page problems ... -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
