I have the following HTML code

    <html>
    <body>
    <div id="wrapper">
        <div id="header"/>
        <div id="main"/>
        <div id="footer" />
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

But using tools like firebug I see the is rendered like:

<html>
    <body>
    <div id="wrapper">
        <div id="header">
            <div id="main">
            <div id="footer" >
                    </div>
                </div>
             </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    </body>
 </html>

It’s the standard behavior?
How avoid this intentation of Divs?

    <div> is an element with content. You cannot use the self-closing tag (<div />) unless you are using XHTML.

    Write:

    <div id="wrapper">
    <div id="header"></div>
    <div id="main"></div>
    <div id="footer"></div>
</div>
