Why does the <p> tag not close </p> at the end of like 14?

Is this a special feature of html tags in JavaScript? Did he just forget?

Ha, I see what you're saying, he just forgot on the first line. You can see that he does do close it on the second line.

I believe it is simply instructor error, and nothing more :-)

Most web browsers are engineered to be very forgiving of typos and small errors like this. As the browser reads through the document it will look at the second <p> and simply assume that the author meant to make it a closing </p> tag instead, due to it's contextual position in the document, and will make the necessary change.
