Seems to be a bug with the form tag. Is anyone else having this issue?

Workspace is closing all tags I already have.

Here is my HTML. Try and add some new tags inside the form tags.

<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Warped Tour shows and Events</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/index.css">
  </head>

  <body>
    <!-- This is the title of the web page -->

    <div class="title">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#"><img src="Images/warpedTourLogo2.jpg" alt="warpedTourLogo"></a></li>
        <li id="title">Warped Tour Shows and Events</li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <!-- This is the END OF THE title of the web page -->
    <form>  
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hi Iram,

I don't see anything technically wrong with your HTML other than the DOCTYPE tag is usually written as <!DOCTYPE html>, however, it's not clear how that would cause a bug with form tags. Can you describe in more detail what bug you're seeing?

Also, I fixed the markdown for your code. If you're curious about how to add markdown like this on your own, checkout this thread on posting code to the forum . Also, there is a link at the bottom called Markdown Cheatsheet that gives a brief overview of how to add markdown to your posts.

Cheers!

Whet I try to add more tags inside the opening and closing form tag, all my code after it gets highlighted in red. Then when I try to close any tags, it will automatically add the closing form tag. Also, if I enter a "</" after the additional form tag, it will then begin to automatically select a closing html tag. If I continue, the next closing tag would be a closing head tag. etc.
