About <image> element

In my "footer" element,i just added the facebook image to link with the facebook.com. actually my image path is "image/facebook-wrap.png".when i am closing with the anchor element it just closes with <image> element by default. The code it is taking by default is, <a href="http://facebook.com/Rupesh anand"><image src="image/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo"></image>(it should be closed with </a>.but it is closing with </image> element) please clear my doubt..

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. However most html elements need to be closed, like so:

<a></a>
<footer></footer>

If you can post your code, I may be able to see what you are referring to. :)

the

<img />

element is a self-closing element so the way you have written it is just fine.
