Extra slash and spade in html

Somehow all my pages are getting " /" (space slash) added to the end of all my html tags.

ie <p />

When I look at the raw files in a text editor they do not appear but when they are parsed they do appear on the website, and are visible when viewing source code.

How do I stop this from happening?

If you run your page url through a validator you will probably see these as missing tag terminators - in XHTML 1.0 Transitional each open must be closed before another open can exist so the browser is making the best guess out of your missed closing tags and adding them to make sense of this

Can't really run it through a validator because its the items for sale, so there is nothing I can do about that. Seems to be every page so I dont think its anything I have done. I have used a validator for the url but unfortunately I cant save it.

Just use the url to the item page

Rightttt.

Then what? There is no way to save the new html file to php

Who is your hosting company?
What version of PHP is your server using?
Does this affect every tag on the page, or just tags in product descriptions?
What is the URL where this can be seen in action?
What version of Zen Cart are you using?
What addons/contributions have you installed?
If you post a simple .php or .html page with basic content, what happens? Please create two files, entitled testslash.php and testslash.html, using the following content, and upload them to your server, and post a link to them:```

Now we are talking!!!!!!

I did what you suggested and the problem is still there. " />"

website is scanmyid dot com and here is the link

http://scanmyiddotcom/idscanners/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=13

:clap::clap:

What are the links to these files?
testslash.php and testslash.html

And the answers to DrBytes additional questions?

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you're saying that you don't understand why there are slashes in the end of SOME tags, then perhaps you don't realize that certain tags use that method ("self-closing") as part of XHTML compliance.

ie:
<img src="includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/button_sold_out.gif" alt="Sold Out" title=" Sold Out " width="78" height="78"** /> **

and

<br class="clearBoth"** />**

and

Those are normal.

You started your first post talking about "p" tags having the self-closing format. I can't see any of those on your site. If you have an example of one, please post it.

I do confess. I am totally ignorant about xhtml. I will look around and get back to you.

thanks for your dedication.

I neglected to mention that this all started from a different post

where there was a problem with fonts.......

I think you've been mistakenly misled for some reason.
