XHTML Strict: br tag inside p tag
15,069
It's not that the br
is inside the p
, but rather you're not ending the br
with the /
character. You have <br>
in the code, when it should be <br/>
. Which is why the validation error is "end tag for "br" omitted", it's telling you that you've not ended the tag correctly with a /.
Note that in HTML4 it's not required to close the br
tag with a final slash, but in XHTML it is required as it's a singleton tag.

I get lots of validation errors because of <br /> inside <p>. If I remove the br tags then it works fine.
Why is it creating a problem?
