That's equivalent to: | <h1></h1>Hello world! | <q></q>Hello again! | <p></p>Have a nice day! Transitional will allow the latter, since "naked" text is allowed. Strict will not, because text cannot be the direct child of <body>. I'm not sure if it's legit to use the shorthand <br />-style closure on non-empty elements, although I'm loathe to argue with the validator. I am pretty sure, though, that if it is legit, it doesn't mean what you intend. Thanasis Kinias Information Dissemination Team, Information Technology Arizona State University Tempe, Ariz., U.S.A.
