Theoretically it is valid XHTML and with an XHTML Doctype the validator won't complain. We even wrote our own custom validator to catch this kind of error. But IE - with it's non-existent support for XHTML as XML - will interpret that empty tag as the opening tag, putting everything that follows into it, that's why it's causing problems. --Klaus
