"SPAN should only be used where no other HTML inline element provides a suitable meaning. If a presentation such as bold or italic text would be suitable on visual browsers, authors may prefer to use an appropriate font style element. For example: "<P><SPAN LANG=fr>La Rvolution Tranquille</SPAN> shook Quebec in the early 1960's. "<P><I LANG=fr>La Rvolution Tranquille</I> shook Quebec in the early 1960's. "The DIV tag is used to mark up divisions in a document. It can enclose paragraphs, headers and other block elements." However, "the DIV element defines a generic block-level container, allowing authors to provide style or language information to blocks of content. The element may contain any inline or block-level element, including another DIV." HTHemaiat (... even more and in addition to) Jeff -- Registered Linux user #304026.
