Element types that are designed to have no content are called 'empty' elements.

For refs, see the Elements section of the W3 spec for HTML 4.01 (Empty elements are marked by an E).

thanks a lot for your help
I guess you could also add elements that are not technically 'empty' elements, but which have been left empty by the author, such as an empty <p></p> element. But in this case it's not a class of element so much as the state of an element. (I just made that up, but it sounds cool.)

This is why HTML now calls <br> and friends for "void" elements.Originally Posted by ralph.m

I also wondered where the term "replaced" elements fits in, for things like images. Is it technical term or not, as it wasn't included in Victorinox's link above?This is why HTML now calls <br> and friends for "void" elements.

Replaced elements is a CSS term, not an HTML term. See:

The terms empty element and void were discussed a while back in this thread.
