> Also, if I understand correctly, this will break in IE? Actually the original question was whether the <input> element (which is defined as EMPTY in the DTD) requires a closing </input> tag. It was not whether an empty element like a <div> with no content could be written as a simple tag. According to the XML spec. it is valid XML to do so, however it recommends that only EMPTY elements be written using the simple tag syntax:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#dt-content "For interoperability, the empty-element tag SHOULD be used, and SHOULD only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY" Using the start tag/end tag combination for tags defined as EMPTY works fine in most recent browsers: http://www.neighborwebmaster.com/tests/input.php Regards, Kepler ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
