Try this and you'll see where "more text?" is going (right or wrong)...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>IE Button Closing Tags</title> </head> <body> <button style="width:200px; height:100px;" type="button"></ button><p>some text</p> <button style="width:200px; height:100px;" type="button" /><p>more text?</p> </body> </html> If you're not putting any content between the start and end tags why not just use <input type="button">? BTW, FF3 shows the same behavior for me.
