>Technically, you don't. The P element has an optional closing tag. >See RFC 1866. I know, again I am late, but quick comments, The RFC makes closing <P> tags optional for the author, not the render, as such, SGML rules as far as I can understand require the render to close the <P> when an element is found that can not be in it, ie a block element. as such: <LI><P> <LI><P> is converted to <LI><P> </P><LI><P> ... In the render. However, MSIE fails to close the <P> for tags such as <HR>, <TABLE> (because its argumentably an inlinable element). Disapointingly though, MSIE also forgets to place extra whitespace between DIVs and TABLEs However, if TABLE was an inline element, then it would be correct... Carl
