The idea is that you should use <strong> or <em> if you mean strong or emphasis. If you are writing a book title, the you shouldn't use either, but rather something like a <span class="book"> with your styling of choice. It all comes down to semantic markup. <em> and <strong> mean something, <b> and <i> only have inferred meaning based on traditional publishing rules and context. ------------------------------------------- Daniel Brumbaugh Keeney Devi Web Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
