Hi, I am not so sure that I posted at the right product. If not, please change for me. I am trying to report a bug in the W3c recommendation. Here is an example code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en"> <head> <title>Prospective Student Database</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> </head> <body> <form action="insert.php" method="post"> <input type="radio" name="gender" value="1">Male </form> </body> </html> //END OF CODE If I put in this code into the HTML validator(http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input). If will give me some errors that at the radio button I am suppose to change to '<input type="radio" name="gender" value="1"/>Male'. Notice the place I changed is the ending tag '>' to '/>'. But I checked the W3C recommendation document, even the document showed a wrong example. You may check here: ( http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html ). In the chapter 17.1, it has radio button ending with '>' instead of '/>'. Please note that 17.1 is just an example that I am trying to show you, but actually the whole document has many same problems inside. Like 17.4.2 , 17.9.1 , ...

You may check here: ( > http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html ). ...but here, you are looking into the documentation of HTML 4.01, not XHTML 1.0.
