I am just starting a new form page using Bootstrap 4 (first time). If I add a closing to the check boxes it breaks the form. Huh?!

Am I missing something here?

There error message asks for more details but I think my question covers it: Why does closing the break the form?

It might depend on how you are closing the tags. It could be because the <input> tag is self-closing. In other words,

Wrong:

<input type="checkbox" value="4">4</input>

Correct (both):

<input type="checkbox" value="4" />4
<input type="checkbox" value="4">4

The visible number 4 is part of the page, not part of content of the <input> tag.

See this answer for more detail: Are (non-void) self-closing tags valid in HTML5?
