 Optional Closing Tags in HTML
For as long as I've been validating web pages, I never realized that the closing </head> tag was optional in HTML. I feel as if I've missed the boat at times. While I'm all for trimming excess code, I just cannot for the life of me strip out closing tags because they are optional in HTML. I'd be concerned that something, somewhere would not parse the document correctly if I removed the closing </head> element. Are my concerns unfounded?  |

You can't/shouldn't remove closing tags. There are basically two type of tags in HTML, empty and closing. For ex. head is a closing tag which means it needs to closed (<head> and </head>) And empty tag does not require to be closed (<br>) I think you really need to learn basic HTML http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
