Question: What's up with the slash in BR tags? When I learned HTML, I learned to type a line break tag like this: <BR>\nBut lately I have seen some documents use it this way: <BR />\nWhat is up with the slash?\nI noticed that Dreamweaver makes them this way.

Answer: In fact all the tag should be closed, all your <BR> should be followed by a </BR> but it doesn"t make much sense so you've got the <BR/> that means <BR></BR> to open and close the tag all at once... Makes it easier and "correct" HTML wise...
