Javascript not writing forward slash

Could someone please tell me why the output is printing

instead of:

<br/>

We added alert(txt); and it gave us <br/> - looks good to go.

Yes, because that is how chrome interprets the <br /> tag. It's just aesthetic; you need not worry about it.

Since nothing can go between a <br> tag the /> part is not necessary. This is probably why the browser doesn't display it.

That's browser behaviour. It shouldn't be a problem.
