Well, <br /> is the XHTML-compliant version of <br>.

In XHTML (the current W3C recommendation for web pages), you *have* to
explicitly close all tags (i.e. you have to use things like </p>). Single
tags - <br>, <hr>, <img>, etc - have to be closed as well, and that's how
you do it.

<br />
<hr width="80%" />
<img src="foo.gif" alt="foo" />


This doesn't help to explain why you're asking for one and getting the other
though (sorry).

Cheers
Jon

Hello Chris,

<br> to <br /> this seems to me an XML-stylish tag.
are you sure there is nothing else in the background?
