I use a few empty DIVs for positioning images on screen, and I've noticed oddities:-

If I use:

<div id="content" />

instead of:

<div id="content">
</div>

Firefox and IE6 seem to struggle to agree on how it should look. Has anyone else noticed this?

Strange DIV quirk

Well for a start the first example isn't how you close a div the /> is just for old tags that were left open such as <img> <br> <meta> which in xhtml you would be required to close with the /> so it probably would cause a conflict of some description but can't say I've ever tried it!
