Hello optimizers I want to know that what is the difference between container tag and empty tag in HTML?

container tags contain the heading and paragraph tags and the have closing tags like<h1></h1>

Empty tages have no closing tages they are empty tages like break a line
<hr>horizontal line .

HTML tags that need to be closed with </> command is called container tag. For example and is a container tag and also described as a nested tag. And the tags that don�t need to be closed with </> command is called an empty tag. For example , <hr> are the empty tags they don�t need to be closed with </ > command.

the difference between a container tag and an empty tag is quite simple. a conatiner tag is the one which has to be closed and an empty tag doesnt need to be closed.

for example:

CONTAINER TAG

<html> is the opening tag
</html> is the closing tag

<a href=""> is the opening tag
</a> is the closing tag

(closing is required)

EMPTY TAG

<img src="">

 

(no closing required)

Both are HTML tags and there is simple difference between them, that a container tag like <a href= ""></a>, needs to be closed by </> while empty tags like , <hr> doesn’t need to be closed.

so empty tag is a bad coding?

aesthetiqclinic · 01-15-2018, 01:16 AM

difference is quiet simple.
container tag are those that contain any thing between opening and closing tags e.g <body> and </body> all the data and other tags are enclosed between these two tags.
empty tags are those which have just opening tags e.g <img src="image name">
 these are empty tags.

The main difference between container tag and the empty tag is that container tags have both opening and closing tag while the empty tags have only opening tags. There is no need of closing tags in empty tags.

Some of the container tags are:

1. <html> is the opening tag
</html> is the closing tag

2. <head> is the opening tag
</head> is the closing tag

Some of the empty tags are:

1. tag
2. <img> tag

The text in between is "contained" by the tag. Empty tags are the horizontal rule (<hr>) and the break tags ( ). Most of the data a container tag contains is between the opening and closing tag (including other "nested" tags.) Whereas all of the data represented by an empty tag is contained in the tags attributes.
