felgall I spent this morning looking up and reading the "are closing tags legal in html5" articles on the web. My mind reals.

I didn't come away with the "/> is perfectly valid in XHTML5. " as you did but with a "they're OK, will cause no harm" feeling. They do cause my editor to barf and are easy to remove as I stated so I do. Guess if other don't want to it's OK.

But missing end tags will cause a problem and the last </div> on the page has no start tag. Even though I did say I wasn't gonna look at the code until it was cleaned up I did look at it and went ahead and did clean it back when this was first posted. Cleaning the code fixed the problems in all browsers except for OPERA and it's only problem that I saw was a larger than normal gap between the top and the middle section of the page.
