I have started to use the HTML editor that comes with MyEclipse.

This editor flags image tags such as

<img src=”http://xyz.com/images/logo.gif&#8221; alt=”test” >

saying that the “element type “img” must be terminated by a matching
end-tag.
If I change the above img tag to

<img src=”http://xyz.com/images/logo.gif&#8221; alt=”test” />

i.e., I close the tag with a forward slash and angle right bracket,
than there are no more complaints.

Is this a new rule in HTML, that tags need to be treated more like
common XML and closed “properly” with “/>”, or what is it that the HTML editor wants?

Thanks for your help and advice,

Wolfgang,
I’m not sure why you are seeing this (i can’t reproduce it locally).

Can you right click on your HTML file and go to Open With, what editor has the black dot next to it(marked as default?)
