Hi Gabriel, Spans are inline elements, that is, they can be used, for instance, to highlight a area within another element, i.e. to change the colour of a few words to enhance a look.
Divs are block level elements, effectively describing and enclosing a logical block, a menu structure for instance. Divs can contain spans but not vice-versa. Hope this helps, Mike Pepper www.seowebsitepromotion.com www.gawds.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gabriel Vasquez Sent: 02 May 2004 20:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Using <span> Hi List! Ever since I've been using the standards approach to web design, I've never used spans at all. What's the point of using them? Thanks for your input!
