HTML experts needed for a quick question

    First of all, this is my 1000th post. Out of all that time, I have not once started a single thread here at DP. I just thought I would take the time to mark this occasion with a simple query.

    After answering hundreds of questions in this forum, I dropped an "easter egg" inside one of the threads. The dropping of the egg was intended to see if anyone was actually reading the OP and following posts, to my delight, no, nobody read a damn thing and agreed with everyone (no surprise). If you search diligently, you may find that egg.

    Am I asking you to find that egg, no, I am not. I am going to drop it here in this thread.

    It is a simple question, and are you Html-expert-enough to answer it? You will get one Rep point for the correct answer.

    RULES
    Drag your mouse between the two marks below. You have to answer exactly, no less, no more. Do not add anything to the answer that is not necessary. This is about paying attention and using your Html smarts at the same time. Got it? Good.

    Question ---> In standard Html, if the Head is above the Body, what is below it? <---

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

    One hint. I can tell by the previous post from c4ntaloop that there may be a slight dilemma in answering the question correctly, and per the instructions.

    </html> tag. But not always. It is possible to add code between the closing </body> tag and the </html> tag.

    Nope. And I said Head, not Header.

    You are close. But not quite correct. Read the instructions one more time.

    The content is what comes within the body.
    After the <BODY> tag comes the </BODY> tag which is followed by the </HTML> tag.
    However, there are many things that can come after the <BODY> tag, be it a <DIV> tag, a <TABLE> tag, and the list goes on...
    I do not think there is one true answer to this question.

    Sure there is an answer. karter4 was close. This question is also about following instructions as well as getting the correct answer.

    In all fairness, you may be right about there not being "one true answer", kind of. I would go as far as saying that it is impossible to answer with the correct answer (hint ... hint).

    I also started this thread for other reasons besides the basic Html question. It is more about what people read into an OP, how they respond, and whether or not they are reading previous responses.

    </html>

    It is impossible to answer correctly because of the rules of the questions itself, no more and no less than the answer, and the answer, </html>, is too short to post by itself.

    No you are not. I see you right up there ---^

    The question was unanswerable if you followed the directions. Even if you had the correct answer to the riddle, which is </html>, the forum would not allow you to post it ... you need a minimum of eight characters (directions said, no more, no less).

    This was more about how people would react to an OP, whether they read any clues along the way, etc. etc. The answers provided were kind of humorous to read, especially when they assumed that Head meant header and Body was somehow connected to the footer.
