The correct way to write an anchor (so that it can be read by HTML
parsers) is to close it with an explicit closing tag:
<a name="anchor-name"></a>
Yes and no: Your markup is valid though it bloatens the markup by
inserting an
empty (thus meaningless) tag to the DOM Tree. Why not simply use
the ID
attribute on the correct item?
I guess I forgot to add the word "element" in the quoted sentence
above. I meant that the correct way to use the anchor *element* is to
close it with an explicit closing tag. I've never used it myself that
way (that I recall); I use the id attribute instead.
But it remains that ending an anchor with "/>" in an HTML-served
document is a common mistake and I wanted to point it out. (And to
point out a glitch on Daring Fireball.)
