<input> tag not closed in form/templates/*.html

[cjh]

<input ${!nameAttrSetting} type="${type}" value="${value}" style="display:none !important;" dojoAttachPoint="valueNode"></span

should be:

<input ${!nameAttrSetting} type="${type}" value="${value}" style="display:none !important;" dojoAttachPoint="valueNode">'''</input>'''</span

I think this is deliberate because of some browser quirk. Doug can confirm.

[Douglas Hays]

This is tricky. Self-closing the INPUT tags is invalid HTML4 markup, but required for XHTML, and optional for HTML5, but we have the same templates for all.

patch against 1.5 trunk - needs verification

[Douglas Hays]

Please verify that the attached patch fixes your problems. I cannot add </input> since that causes IE to generate a separate </INPUT> node in HTML4 mode, so I used self-closing tags instead <INPUT/>.

[cjh]

Thanks, the <input/> fixes my problem !

[Douglas Hays]

(In [22335]) Fixes #11309. Ensure INPUT tags in templates are self-closed so that they work with XHTML pages.

BTW, this is the same fire drill we did with <img> tags in the templates, which we also ended up changing to <img/>
