the flaw in this approach is the potential for adding divs for styling purposes only which is hardly ever necessary. Certainly not in the scenario you have given. I advocate styling the elements directly rather than bloating the code more than you need too. Cheers Adam On Feb 11, 2008 2:59 PM, Joh

In this particular instance I would say your approach is wrong because the p servers no purpose. The text is simply a link, if it were actually a paragraph of text then there might be a call for it, however even then I'm not certain. So in this case though its definitely superfluous, IMHO. Tac

Hi Taco, I think it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. In the example you showed, a element might not have provided much use. If you wanted to avoid using the same style for all LI elements, then maybe defining and applying class(es) to each that differed would work. It makes pe

Hi Taco, In the case of the example you provided I'd say definitely no need for the nested tag. The tags are enough to describe the content inside them - they are items in a list. I don't see how it is a duplicate style of the tag either, in my experience it is good practice to style your li
