Simple line break <br/> question

[kdr4t]

I'm making a site and can't figure out why when I do this:

<p>hello<br/> this is a test</p>

I successfully get back:
hello
this is a test

But when it's an h1 tag like this:
<h1> Hello<br/> this is a test</h1>
it all reads as one line.

Thanks for the help in advance.

What browser? Tested in FF, IE and Safari and all worked the with the line break.

 

[kdr4t]

all the browsers are rendering it that way :/

You surely are. I should start using smileys in my code as well...

I'd probably say shit like that too if I didn't know how to fix it.

If only we had a programming sub-forum...

Why the fuck do you end a br tag is my question?

Its <br>

Must have went to college for coding...

 

[chatmasta]

Because <br /> is the semantic (read: proper) way to do it. It doesn't really mean shit but there's no reason to hate on someone doing things right.

OP, there's probably a stylesheet doing something to your h1 tag.

^^ It's proper in XHTML, but would be improper in HTML.

You're asking about the most proper way to duct-tape your muffler back on to your car. Don't get upset when the mechanics tell you it's a bad idea.
