I made a far ranging statement that <span /> could be dropped anywhere. The poster simply pointed out that <span><p>blah blah blah</p></span> is not a good idea. Unless it IS a good idea, I took his admonition at face value. Bill B

Well, the example was not an example of the general statement, though it is an example of another general statement: you can't put anything inside within a span. Examples of the statement "you can put a span anywhere" are a) you can't put a span inside an option (since option only allows text content, no elements) b) you can't put a span directly inside a form when using HTML 4.01 Strict (since Strict version allows only block elements as children of form). (The former example has a CSS impact: you cannot style parts of an option element contents differently from other part, except (in theory) using selectors that don't need any inner elements to hook to.) -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ |
