not working in firefox and chrome

break line tag is not working in firefox, neither in chrome. When i see the source of my page i get:

<p>Zugang zu Testaccount:</br></br>peter petrelli </br></br>sein Standardpwd.</br></br>peter.heroes.com</p>

However when i do view selected source, i get:

<p>Zugang zu Testaccount: peter petrelli  sein Standardpwd. peter.heroes.com</p>

It seems firefox is filtering break line tags out.

It works in IE7 fine.

For me CSS was an issue.

For this tag display: none; was used so   tag was not rendering.

It’s not , it’s   or  .

So, this doesn’t work as expected:

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <title></title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <p>
   Some text... </br>
   Some more text...
  </p>
  More content...
 </body>
</html>

But this works:

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <title></title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <p>
   Some text... <br>
   Some more text... <br />
  </p>
  More content...
 </body>
</html>

If you are trying to put space between two divs and   is not working then insert this code (between the divs) to get the   tag working.

<div class="clear"></div>

and add

.clear {
    clear: both;
}

in your css file.

should probably be used only if you are writing XHTML. If you use validator.w3.org to validate the following as HTML 4.01:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<br />
</p>
</body>
</html>

This warning is generated:

Line 8, Column 3: NET-enabling start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES.

<br />

The sequence can be interpreted in at least two different ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/' terminates the tag '). However, since many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.
