Why don’t self-closing script tags work?
I have a LAMP server recently installed on Ubuntu. What I am curious about is the following.
This code in file test.php works:
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
</script>
</head>
...
This file however does not (only shows data after the next </script> in the code)
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'/>
</head>
...
Why does PHP (or HTML) not acknowledge the end tag in the second case?
It is not acknowledged because:
requires a closing
and not just a / within the tag. Some HTML tags are like that.
