2,529 PointsBrowser compatibility with Firefox?
I running firefox 137 on Debian 12, but I also tested this in Windows 11 with Firefox and got the same result.
When I enter const item = document.createElement('li') and then call item in the console it only returns the opening LI tag as <li> as an HTMLLIElement prototype.
Everything else has worked for me up to this point. Is there a way to work around this in Firefox as it's my preferred browser, and would be helpful to know to avoid writing code that isn't compatible with it for other users.

232,176 PointsHTML allows the ending tag (</li>) to be omitted. It sounds like the browser is just displaying this optional form.
Does this cause a problem?

2,529 PointsThanks that's helpful to know. I couldn't find anything about that when I was looking for others with the same issue.
I initially thought it was causing a problem because when I tried to insert my
lielement and update the page I was seeing that HTMLLIElement get inserted instead, but as I finished the video I learned I was doing it wrong and didn't have any issues when I followed Guil's instructions.
