Closing Tag Question

[RichieBoy67]

Thanks

</div>.

A line break is <br />, an image is <img />, a horizontal rule is <hr />, etc. because they are self-closing tags. For example, <br>text</br> makes no sense.

Also, don't use <center>; it's deprecated. Use <div style="text-align: center">.

Well I guess I just learned something major here.... Thank you much!! At least I was doing the </div> right but I have to admit that I always use the <center> </center> tags...

I am studying though and I am also starting 2 more courses soon!! Hopefully in a year or so I'll be answering more questions than I ask...lol


Thanks again Filburt!


Oh yeah, one more thing


so you are saying that when ever I want to do a line break I use <br /> ??

Got ya---


and <div style="text-align: center">. goes before what ever I want to center??? How do I close this so the rest of the page does not center???

1. You should use semantic HTML and style it with CSS. For example, if you're typing a paragraph, surround it with <p></p> which will add a line break. In reality, you shouldn't use <br /> that often now that I think about it.
2. Close it with </div>.

That script tag is correct. Just make sure you close it.

Yes, every <br> should be changed to <br /> for XHTML compliance. However, if coded semantically, they shouldn't really be required. So, if you want to rewrite the thousand or so templates vB uses, rock on.

Thanks for all of your help..

You should really learn HTML from a book or something (no disrespect, you just don't seem to understand the basics). You should close a <script> with a </script>.

<center> is deprecated, which means it is known to have problems or will be phased out in future implementations of the language. In any language, you should never use deprecated code.

How do you find out which tags are deprecated?
