I have a asp.net mvc site with a master page and it has following tag in the head.

<head runat="server">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

But when I goto view source in any browser, the meta tag is shown as

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Who is adding the / to the end as />

Issue is when the site is validated with w3 validator it shows an error saying that the meta tag should be closed as > not as />. But I cannot find how the /> is created.

Doct type is

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Site is online at http://tipila.com if you want to see it for yourself.

I’m totally clueless here. Any help is appriciated.

This happens in both casini and IIS 7

    Try removing the runat="server" attribute from the head tag.
