How come this validates against HTML4.01 Transitional:
<html>
<head>
<title>iter.dk - About</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/iter.css">
</head>
<body>
[etc...]
But this doesn't:
<html>
<head>
<title>iter.dk - About</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/iter.css" />
</head>
<body>
[etc...]
The only difference is the "/" at the end of the <link> tag.
This is the error I'm getting:
----------------------------------------------
Line 9, column 6:
</head>
^
Error: end tag for element "HEAD" which is not open; try removing the end
tag or check for improper nesting of elements
----------------------------------------------
This looks like an error in the validator. The <head> tag is open. The page
validates nicely against XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
