<br /> is XML specific, or XHTML. XML requires an opening and closing
tag. As <br> doesn't have a closing tag (such as <td> </td> for
example), you close it using <br />. There have been a couple of
(non-reproducable by developers) issues where the /> part has appeared
AFTER the <form> </form> section, which makes the submit button not
work (as it doesn't have a form element to match). As was suggested,
the usual tell-tale sign of this issue is actually under the body box.

tell :) You might want to see if it can *always* reproduce it from
their workstation. If yes, try a windows update, if still
reproducible, kill user, and hide under carpet. :)
