Let's call a spade a spade. If you aren't closing your tags, your markup is, literally, retarded. Closing all tags is more consistant in both processing and aesthetics. This has an immediate impact on my productivity. I don't care if the browser is really treating my xhtml as invalid html4. That has had zero impact on my work. Blindly following standards is being "enterprise" but bowing to a different master. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
