Markup & CSS Quirks

Things that should work but doesn't.

Empty script elements

Problem

<script src="js/frontpage.js"/>

Using an emptyscript element validates perfectly XHTML 1.0 strict, but messes up things seriously in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox - Opera is the only one treating the web page correctly. IE and Mozilla does all kinds of odd tings, not showing pictures (!) is one of them.

Fix

Use containing <script> elements although you only use the src attribute:

<script src="js/frontpage.js"></script>
