Strage html代码行为

Question

i have very strange problem:

my site engine uses php. when page created, i view it's HTML code (using broswer's menu "see source html") and i see this (i place here only important part of code):

<div class="main_page_blogs_post2_item1">

            <div><p><p>
    <div class="cblui_image_contaner_" align="center">

but REAL html code differs from source code - when i view this code using firebug, i see this code:

<div class="main_page_blogs_post2_item1">
<div>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="cblui_image_contaner_" align="center">

i mean that closing </p> tags are autoadded to html code and i d't know why. i thought that it's javascript, but i try to reload page with javascript disabled - it not helps. and i d't thik it's php's fault, cause source code is correct.

UPD: i found out, that in my case 2 opening <p> tags and 2 closing </p> tags have been converted to <p></p> combination. All others <p> tags have not been affected.

What may it be?

Thanks

P.S. sorry for bad english :)

Answer 1

Firebug shows the real generated code in the browser. This might differ (corrected, slightly altered) from the html sent from your server.

There are 3 steps:

1. Your server code
2. The generated html
3. What your browser makes of it (= what you see in firebug)
