Is <tr> tag optional?

html, html-table

Solution

All browsers accept "quirks" in HTML layout and will render a "best guess" based on what they find. But in the HTML specifications, a `<tr>` tag is DEFINITELY required — regardless of whether it works or not, you should always use valid HTML!

Check early, check often!

Problem

``` <table> <td>cell1</td> <td>cell2</td> </table> ``` I found out that this tags work on ie8, firefox 11 and chrome, but not sure whether this is valid by standards and work on all major browsers.
