Example HTML File

I have found that when attributes do not have quotes, a self closing tag can cause a minor parse problem.  For Example:

<input type="button" type=button tabindex=1 value=Test/>
<input name="title" type="text" id="title"  maxLength=255 value="" tabindex=1/>

The forward slash is counted as part of the last attribute.  Quotes on the attribute or a space before the forward slash fixes this.  I have attached an HTML file that shows this behavior.  In the example, the button text shows the forward slash and the tabindexes like the above are skipped when tabbing through the fields.

Note: I am not arguing whether the above HTML is valid, but it would help with compatibility with other browsers.
