That's what the DocType is. It tells the browser what version of
(X)HTML you're using and therefore which tags are allowed and which
are not. It has a major effect on some browsers, and if you use the
right one it can help a lot when trying to make pages look the same
in all browsers. Worth reading up on.

I've done a lot of reading about DOCTYPE's and I realize that the
DOCTYPE statement tells the browser what version of (X)HTML the web
page is, but I never made the connection that would limit how one
could use the <br> tag.
You know, you can read about the "br" tag everywhere without any
mention of DOCTYPE.
So in the end, we have <br>, <br/>, <br />, and <br></br> --
depending on what DOCTYPE you're using -- that sure makes things
simpler, huh?
Thanks for enlightening me on this.
Cheers,
