This often leads to unexpected and possibly undesirable results.  Use a validation service, such as the W3C MarkUp Validation Service, to confirm that an XHTML document is syntactically correct.  World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) provides a validation service for checking a document’s syntax  http://validator.w3.org/
