The first slash actually just closes the tag which, for empty elements, also closes the element. However, for non-empty elements, it just closes the opening tag and the second slash closes the element. So it is actually equivalent to: <a href="http:"></a>www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/05/mod_oks_win2k_warships/> Windows for Warships safe for Royal Navy</a> You can see that if you select "Show Parse Tree" in the validator options from the extened interface. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://SpreadFirefox.com/ Igniting the Web
