Liam,
Strange -- I had never seen this shorthand form of tag-folding. It is very
ugly!
The set of browsers which accept it must be extremely small -- I am pretty
sure the following browsers mishandled it:
IE 6, winXP
Netscape 4.7, winXP
Netscape 6.2, win98
IE 5.5, win98
Only Mozilla 1.0.1 (WinXP) got it "right". (Presumeably Netscape 7 would as
well.) Mozilla is my main browser, which explains why I didn't notice the
problem yesterday.
I'll check out the validator at HTMLHelp. Thanks for letting me know about
it.
