Hello Eric, First question is: how did you actually follow the link? I found my message here in the archive and the link has been stripped - presumably as an anti-spam measure. But on looking more closely, I see "Public" as part of the URL. So presumably there is a different viewing option which will show the links. If you follow your link below again and look more closely, you will see that it validates clean because I have reverted the doctype to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. My link was included as an example of lots of <td/>s not as an example of a validator report. So now try: a.. XHTML version - validates clean. b.. HTML5 version - masses of errrors. (It also does not how to sort the names! But that is a completely different bug.) I also received a reply from David Dorward who pointed me to the specification and said it is not a bug. But I still think it is retrogression! Roger ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Richards To: Roger W Haworth Sent: Friday, September 18, 2015 3:16 PM Subject: Re: What is wrong with <td/>? Hello Rodger have you fix it already it works OK now https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frhaworth.net%2Fshakes%2Fshaxref.php%3Fmat%26f%3Dasyoulikeit%26n%3D0&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 From Eric On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 12:59 AM, Roger W Haworth <W@rhaworth.net> wrote: In this page for example I use lots of self-closing <td/>s. When I declare the doctype to be HTML5 the validator says: Self-closing syntax (/>) used on a non-void HTML element. Ignoring the slash and treating as a start tag. I cannot see anything wrong with <td/>. Please tell the validator to stop rejecting it. Roger W Haworth
