Hi, Currently a Panel requires a div tag that is immediately closed, <div id="wicket-something" />
Both internet explorer and firefox have a problem with this. The following example will make things clear: <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <div id="Content" style="background-color:red;"> should be red <div id="blaat" style="background-color:green;"/> should be red too </div> </body> </html> instead of 1 big red block, possibly intersected by a thin green line, we get a red block and a green block. Apparently the browsers miss the /> tag. <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <div id="Content" style="background-color:red;"> should be red <div id="blaat" style="background-color:green;"/> should be green </div> <!-- this is not valid xml since we already closed the div earlier, however the browsers need it to get the desired result of a red block followed by a green block and then another red block --> should be red </div> </body> </html> The above example gives the desired effect, but should not be used because it is not valid xml. <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <div id="Content" style="background-color:red;"> should be red <div id="blaat" style="background-color:green;"> should be green </div> should be red </div> </body> </html> The above example is both correct xml and gives the desired effect. Therefore I would like to propose to change the html tag for Panels to <div id="wicket-panelname"></div> There also might be other components affected by this behaviour. The w3c furthermore dictates that for div elements a start and end tag is required http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-DIV and I don't see them using <div />.
