Empty Div Causing Very Strange Behavior

Question

Got something like this

<div class="something">

<div></div>

<p>
Some text here
</p>

</div>

This is all called in a template in XSL.

For some reason I am getting when it's rendered that the empty div is never closed. The <p> and its contents are inside this div. This continues on and on for each time this template is called. :( If I only take out the empty div, all the "something" divs are separate entities and not inside each other.

How could this be happening?!

Simple. Your XSLT doesn't do what you think it's doing. @Flack's right: Let's see some code. — james.garriss, Jun 01 '11 at 19:02
Hey bobber, I adjusted the tags to push the topic to more XSLT people - CSS isn't part of the problem. Hope that's cool. — Ben Hull, Jun 10 '11 at 21:28
It's hard helping you just seeing the result HTML of some mentioned XSLT code :) — Emiliano Poggi, Jun 10 '11 at 21:41
"For some reason I am getting when it's rendered that the empty div is never closed". The empty div is closed in the HTML you show above. You mean it's not closed in this way `
`? — Emiliano Poggi, Jun 10 '11 at 21:44
Agree with @deathy - I've seen cases where the div is closed as
when using xml output method. — Pete - MSFT, Jun 15 '11 at 23:10
