<hr> and/or <hr />

Question

Can someone tell me which one is correct. When i type in '<h' the drop down list shows the hr tag and when i touch it, it shows '<hr>' but this course shows '<hr />'. So which one is correct ?

Answer 1

Actually there's no difference.. As <hr> doesn't have any closing tag, therefore some programmers use a "/" after "hr" like: <hr /> .. It is more systematic way of coding HTML .. Always use <hr /> .. Same in the case of <br /> tag.. Hope it helps :) .. Please do upvote :)
