Neerav, in any case... What if you leave the Hx as block elements, but use no-repeat instead? I think it's your repeat-x that's causing the problem...

Hi, first time poster... anyway.
I think most would agree that forcing Hx elements to become inline elements, rather than block level elements, is a poor use of the markup. In other words, semantically it's probably not the best idea. Technically you could take an unordered list and style it so that it looks like a paragraph, but then what's the point of using an unordered list, right?

Im experimenting with some techniques from dan cederholms book "Web Standards Solutions" and found that setting a background image like so
h1 , h2 , h3 , h4 , h5 { text-align : left; padding-bottom: 14px; background: url(/img/under_heading.gif) repeat-x bottom; }
caused the background image to continue across the whole container div
width, my guess is that this occurs because Hx tags are BLOCK elements,
so I added :
display: inline;
Which "seemed" to fix the problem, and made the background display only
below the text in Hx tags,
Are there any caveats to bear in mind when forcing Hx tags to be "inline" ?
