(Ramblings) Think of a Number, Don't Think of an Answer

I have no idea where Chapters gets their in-store music from (a clerk could only identify it as being "some satellite feed"), but whoever programs it gets my respect.  I was browsing around, when I recognised the guitar riff that was playing.  I didn't think much about it, but when I got to the cash I realised that what I was hearing was not Elastica's Connection, but the much more obscure Three Girl Rhumba by Wire.

So, whoever you are, I tip my hat to you.

The title is from the song thats mentioned.  Is there a point for this title?  I just assume there always is.

Errrr no.  I kind of figured it was a bit too easy.

Haha.  I'll gladly have the leafs win and me not get a point.  </not bitter>

Tsk tsk tsk.  That's invalid HTML by any of the standards.

I'm always confused by the slashes.  So, slashes are like words for me.  I plonk them amidst any setence or structure I feel like.

It's rather simple:

Any tag beginning with a slash is closing off a pair of tags. So <foo></foo> is valid, but just </foo> is not.

Prior to the XHTML 1.0 specification, any standalone tag, such as <img> or <br> was slash-free.  From XHTML 1.0 onwards, any tag that doesn't have an opening and closing tag has a space followed by a slash before the >. (i.e. <foo />)

Actually, that's not exactly correct either.

In XHTML any pair of tags that doesn't have anything between them (such as my <foo>&lt/foo> example) should be replaced by a single tag with the slash at the end.
