    NO it's not. Well, it is, but not the way you think.

    You're new here. I suggest learning to google next time you feel
    inclined to accuse someone of ignorance, lest your own be manifest.
    Internet advice from Nick Kew. Wow.
    I really must be ignorant,too, because I STILL think that the closing
    </pis optional. No amount of Googling has convinced me otherwise.
    I probably should have "said '... the way you MAY think ...', the 'you'
    being generic, and not directed to Dave D.", but life is too short to
    dot every tee and cross every eye. (Which accounts for DDs one word
    dismissal of the snippet)

    Not so hard to believe. We have enough context to know the OP
    is out of his depth, but not enough to know what other style
    definitions may apply. So anything could happen.
    Indeed. But all we had to go on was the snippet, and viewed here (and I
    suspect, elsewhere) the snippet does not behave as reported.

      Well, it is, but not the way you think.
      If it is, then don't shout that it isn't.
      In HTML, the </pis optional, so the "invalidity " is an extra </p>.
      I know. But invalid is invalid and error correction in tag soup slurpers is
      mysterious voodoo.

      .... and that's in HTML, the OP didn't specify if they were using HTML or
      XHTML.
