Container Elements
In HTML, the tags that include both ON and OFF tags are called Container elements. A tag is
opened using opening angle brackets <> and closed using closing brackets </>. For example,
<HTML> indicates opening tag and </HTML> depicts closing tag. While using tag sets as
containers, we should always balance the fl ow.
Example: Correct Way Incorrect Way
Tag 1 Tag 1 Learn More
Tag 2 Tag 2
HTML is not a case sensitive
/Tag 2 /Tag 1 language.
/Tag 1 /Tag 2
Empty Elements
Empty elements contain only ON tags. They do not have OFF tags. These elements do not
enclose any data. Instead they do some function on their own, for example, <BR> tag. It neither
has its corresponding OFF tag nor encloses any data. Its function is to break the line and display
the text from the next line.
