XML RSS - Unexpected End of File error

Hi guys,

I've knocked up a quick RSS feed on my site. It works fine in Fx 2 & 3,
in Opera it throws an error "unexpected end of file" but allows the feed
to be added anyway, and Chrome just says there's an XML error, and gives
the second from last line as the one containing the error.

I tried adding a newline to the end of the file, but that just makes the
error message report the next line. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? The
file is using utf-8 character encoding.

Thanks,
Ash

Can you show the generated XML?

Nevermind, I was having a "moment"! I'd forgotten to close the final
tag, as I mistook the root tag for an XML declaration instead! I
am a little surprised that Fx allowed it to validate correctly though!

I'm just used to it letting me know if I was trying to view malformed
XML. It must be a special case for RSS as it recognises the format as
being special!

Well, don't forget, Fx will correct SGML and HTML that is missing tags.

I think Fx would rather simply accept the incorrect format, correct it (since it
wasn't a fatal error), and finally display what it figures you /intended/ to
send it.

I hate it when software tries to assume what I meant to say... :-(
