1. Re: Do the slashes (/) in some of the html tags mean something?
osgood_ Nov 1, 2010 9:58 AM (in response to TCarp)It's xhtml syntax for tags that ARE NOT self closing:
<img src="symbol.jpg" width="120" height="90" />
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield" />
Were as 'textarea' and a <div> ARE self closing:
<textarea name="textarea" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
<div></div>

Nancy O. Nov 1, 2010 10:06 AM (in response to TCarp)Use the coding method supported by your document type declaration (DTD).
In most cases this is either HTML or XHTML.
HTML code (no slash):
<img src="some-image.jpg>
XHTML code (with slash)
<img src="some-image.jpg" />
