Why do you need the enclosing meta tag at all?

technically, in XHTML you need to close every tag, but since no-one really uses XHTML it doesn’t matter. it’s just a HTML sytax error (<meta> elements must not have children).

Which tag isn't being closed?

All I was asking was why the <script> tag is inclosed in the <meta> tag.

nope. <meta> is an empty element.

Thus Kathyln's problems.

Since she never answered my initial question, I appreciate your explaining why the code will fail.

Thank you, Dormilich.

in real XHTML you can do some crazy stuff like
<meta name="…" content="…"></meta> and <script type="application/ecmascript" src="…"/>
but don’t do that with a HTML MIME type, that is bound to fail (the first one is invalid (<meta> tags are defined as empty, i.e. <meta … >) and the second one produces an error (because the /> is ignored, it is treated as opening tag and then you run into nesting problems))

Dormilich,

I really do understand the structural differences between XML and HTML. My understanding is that XHTML is an XML-ized form of HTML (including a strict schema, for those of us who like them). If you ever want a wild schema, look at the IRS schema for e-file version II.

I wasn't aware that the <meta...> tag is defined as empty, however. One learns something every day.

Anyway, I will bow out of this conversation, unless the original poster asks.

Have a most pleasant day.

Cheers!
