RE: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4708] New: - html:text Input tag should be terminated with />

Posted by Matt Raible <ma...@icsynergy.com>.
Most older browser will allow the closing tag "/>", however, it is necessary
to add a space between the last " and the close (on an empty tag).

For example: <br/> will not work in Netscape 4.x, but <br /> will work.

I am getting ready to convert all the <html> tags to XHTML, and was hoping
to simply feed off the <html:html xhtml="true"> and if it is true, then add
the ending /.  Is this a good approach?

Matt

It is true that the generated HTML is not XML compliant. HTML itself is not
XML compliant, which is at least part of why XHTML was created.

It's not clear to me that we can change the output to be XHTML. I suspect
that not all browsers - particularly older ones - will accept XHTML in place
of HTML.

Can anyone shed some more light on this?
