That is totally correct. But are the head and body elements added to the document? So basically when we stop parsing the document should only have the html element is that correct?

The "<html>" start tag token causes you to jump from the "initial" insertion mode to the "before html" insertion mode, and then the <html> element is created and you jump to "before head". You then hit the "end of file" token, and that causes the <head> element to be generated, and switches you to "in head", where <head> is popped and you switch to "after head", where you insert a <body> element and switch to "in body", at which point you stop parsing. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
