weird slash appears in html

Question

As i do some html markup thru php output:

echo '<h2>Events Calendar</h2><table border="2" width="100%"><th>';
... 

a weird slach appears in this way (under Events Calendar and above the html table markup):

As i look in debugger i find no hint where it's from... The table markup is ok, all tags are paired. What's the cause might be?

Answer 1

Most likely it is outside your proper table markup, like /<tr>

Anything between the tags in a table is normally rendered before the table.
