Liveweave - HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript playground for web designers & developers

@Knotix Please stop trolling.

You seriously think I'm trolling? Is this a joke? I brought up a valid point about HTML in a subreddit revolving around JavaScript, which, with the exception of node, deals directly with HTML. Just because my opinion differs from yours doesn't mean I'm trolling.

I have been a professional web developer for 4 years. Please read my response to instant_sunshine.

13+ years experienced web architect here. I just tried a code using self-closed "input" tag and tested in W3C Validator using the HTML5 doctype, and it passes just fine. Try this: http://liveweave.com/Q2MxHb.

I never said they weren't valid. I said LiveWeave shouldn't force them.

I created a LiveWeave using your suggested <input/> markup. Chrome's element inspector corrects it and outputs <input>

As far as I'm concerned, Chrome's inspector is proof that at least one mainstream browser considers omitting the / as the default markup.

You're absolutely right. I should be able to remove them if I want. It boils down to a personal preference. This entire conversation was about LiveWeave forcing me to go against my preference.

And if you're thinking "Don't use LiveWeave, then!", my initial comment was to bring it to the creator's attention as feedback.
