It is not a syntax error by HTML specifications. By SGML rules (which apply to HTML 4.01), the closing ">" can be omitted from a start tag when it is followed by another tag. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/appendix/notes.html#h-B.3.3 (Note that the heading "SGML features with limited support" is an euphemism for "SGML features that are formally part of HTML 4.01 but not supported by practically any web browser". Also note that the expression "closed Start Tag" there for this particular feature is wrong; the SGML term is "unclosed start-tag"; see the SGML standard, i.e. ISO 8879, clause 7.4.1.) > Still, the validator won't find any errors and tells me, this is valid HTML > 4.01: As it is.

I think the validator counts line correctly, i.e. the line you are referring to _is_ line 31. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
