simple html problem

[joe2]

hi,

example mentioned at
http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/tutorial.forms.php

there is form code.
<form action="action.php" method="POST">
Your name: <input type="text" name="name" />
Your age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit">
</form>

what is the concept behind adding " />(slash)" in input type tag.

Thanks
