Francois Armand commented on TAPESTRY-2699:
-------------------------------------------
That's something that has been dealt with several time in the ml, see for
example :
http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.tapestry.users+Tapestry+5+-+doesn%27t+generate+valid+XHTML#query:list%3Aorg.apache.tapestry.users%20Tapestry%205%20-%20doesn%27t%20generate%20valid%20XHTML+page:1+mid:e7s6luenjtiap6ef+state:results
Summary : the HTML compliance of generated markup depends on both your pages
doctype and their content type.
So, to have valid XHTML (not closing the option tag is valid HTML 4), you have
to add the XHTML doctype and set the content type to "application/xhtml+xml".
BUT. There is a bug in IE, well known by IE dev (who doesn't really care to
correct it - it's still in IE 7), that make this browser don't understand this
content-type.
So, you may want to look to this how-to, which bring a solution (T5 is so
extendable that there is always a simple solution :) :

---
To T5 developers : as this error come again and again, and as the huge majority
of us want to produce valid XHTML (understandable by IE) by default, it would
be great to find a solution, even if the real problem is an IE bug.
