W3C markup validation is asking me to remove trailing slashes on my page.
Is this correct? And will my page still be compliant in all browsers?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" **/**>
That is correct. For HTML 4.01 you shouldn’t have trailing slashes (self-closing tags) for
metaelements and I believe<link>elements if memory serves me correctly.xhtml requires trailing slashes, though.
