That is, the tags are, the elements are not. A <title> can only appear in a head, that's why my document clearly has a head element – I don't need to spell out the tag for that. And the head ends, and body begins, with the first element that can only be found in body.
For example, validate this: http://snipt.net/nes1983/minimal-valid-html5/ In a HTML5 validator: http://html5.validator.nu/ It's valid. It saves space, no amount of confusion is caused by dropping these tags, so I would argue that it's good practice, when handcoding html, to drop the irrelevant things. I just validated the snipped I'd sent, and I learned that I forgot closing a div at the end of the snippet, otherwise it is valid. Here's the snippet with the closing div, passes through an html5 validator: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi";></script> <script> google.load("prototype", "1.6.1.0"); google.load("scriptaculous", "1.8.3"); document.observe("dom:loaded", function() { Sortable.create('fruit', { "scroll": "container" });}); </script> <title>Test</title> <div id="container" style="overflow: scroll; width: 200px; height: 100px;"> <ul id="fruit"> <li>Apple <li>Banana <li>Peach <li>Strawberry <li>Cherry <li>Pear <li>Orange <li>Mango </ul> </div> Cheers, Niko On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 9:27 AM, Niko Schwarz <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't think so. head and body are both optional: > > http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#optional-tags > > On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 1:24 AM, Rick Waldron <[email protected]> wrote: >> Missing: >> >> <head> >> <body> >> >> If found, please return. >> >> -- Sent from my Palm Prē >> ________________________________ >> Niko Schwarz wrote: >> >> I don't know why, but somehow this snippet executes document.observe >> fine.
