wow look at that. my browser (latest firefox) displays it fine but you're right, that's in the source. i never knew the power a browser had to correct errors before rendering the page!

<br/> should be <br> too

My Opera doesn't. The whole front page is a single link. :(

Actually <br/> is right, in fact it should also be <img (..) />. Self-closing tags.

Off-topic note, <br/> is the new XHTML where unclosed tags are pretty much closed.

And I find it funny because you were so pro-internet-explorer. Good to see that you switched, you loser. :P

Beeing bitch slapped by a spyware infested IE (even in it's 7th version :P) can do 'wonderful' things, B.I. :D

actually <br /> is usually used since <br/> screws with some older browsers.

the /> on single tags (ones that don't have ends like <img> and such) is actually part of the xhtml spec.

you'll find my love for "older browsers" is near the fuck-you end of the spectrum.

It's not like our site is so cutting edge that it'd cause any serious problems.

(AJAX and all JS stuff is pretty much all that's affected.)

I agree. I wrote code that stops browsers under V5.5 from loading the site 'cause I found that there were so many people visiting with really old browsers, reporting bugs that didn't really exist! :)

It can be asked n' told through PM's anyway. ;)
