No, I don't think the exams on your site are worth the disk space they
take up. But then if they were, you wouldn't have to spam usenet.

You should offer one on HTML, then study it.

For XHTML it is a requirement. See:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_br.asp and note under Differences that
in XHTML the tag must be closed, and properly at that they insist <g>.

You were never a blind person, where you? If you were, you would not
have made the statement. Whether or not you feel a missing 'alt' is not
an error, it is a requirement. Or, of course, you don't GAF about blind
people surfing the web.
> No end tag for a <br>? Since when was that needed?
Since years. Go read up on DOCTYPEs, and then note that for XHTML, you
need: <br />

If the specified DTD is XHTML, I think all tags have to be closed.
For elements which have empty content models, you close the tag using
the sequence space-slash-right_angle_bracket or " />"
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml;
charset=utf-8" />
or
<br />

Even if it is HTML, all tags have to be closed (with TAGC) as most UAs do
not implement SGML correctly. You mean something else. Tags are _not_
elements:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.1>
> For elements which have empty content models, you close the tag using

The leading space is not required in XHTML except for so-called HTML
compatibility.
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml;
> charset=utf-8" />
An XML parser could not care less about this element as the document needs
to be well-formed before that. Again, this is for "HTML compatibility"
only, and only required in the first place when the document is not viewed
via HTTP and the encoding is not otherwise declared (in XHTML, it can be
declared with a PI before the root element, but that forces some browsers
into Compatibility Mode when served as text/html; however, declaring UTF-8
is never necessary for an XML parser as it is one of the XML default
encodings).

<br/> or <br></br> would suffice in XHTML, unless it needs to be "HTML-
compatible".
BTW, I have recently learned that the nl2br() function has been added a
second parameter with which you can specify whether you want HTML BR
elements or HTML-compatible XHTML `br' elements in the return value.

Wow, I didn't realise you were so multi-talented. Not only are you
useless at php, but you also have no clue about XHTML either. You kept
that quiet. I bet you can really screw up javascript too!

I don't think he's tried JavaScript yet. But be sure to ask him all
about his experiences with "Liberty Basic" and "RunBasic." He played
with those for a couple of months, then gave up. He even had his hosting
company reformat his expensive dedicated web server from Linux/Apache to
Windows so he could run the Basic stuff. ;-)
If it wasn't plain, he doesn't understand the What and the Why of
DOCTYPEs either.
