Semantic = meaning. What is the meaning of highlighting the text?
If it's a design decision the use <SPAN> If it's a meaning decision use <STRONG> or <EM> Think of <EM> as a rise in pitch when reading something out to someone. Think of <STRONG> as slow and controlled while pointing your finger kinda speech. -----Original Message----- here's my question. i have a page with text that i want highlighted. i currently have the text in "<a>text</a>" and styled with css. what is the best practice, semantically, to achieve this, as <strong> is not what i want, because i don't want someone to get yelled at by their screen reader. i guess what i am looking to do is emphasize the text so it will stand out on the page and be treated the same by a screen reader. is this what the <em> tag is for? ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
