[thelist] end tags?

[Andrew Maynes]

Thank you for this very useful

Andrew

   <img src="img.gif" alt="This is an Image" />
   <br />
   <input id="input" type="text" />

instead of:

   <img src="img.gif" alt="This is an Image"></img>
   <br></br>
   <input id="input" type="text"></input>

Both are correct strictly according to the standard, but older browsers may
have trouble when you close an element they don't know should be
closed.  Hence, most people just use the shorted syntax (that and it's less
typing).  :-)
