Using inline styles, although, a possibly classed, stylesheet would be better. Also assuming that the background colour is well defined. so, how you <em style="font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: green">suppose</em> to change color inline? (word "suppose" in this sentence?) As part of a page where you generally didn't want font changes, you would certainly override them in the style sheet, not inline. For a consistent house style, this would probably reduce to: so, how you <em>suppose</em> to change color inline? (word "suppose" in this sentence?) > I would prefer to use DIV instead of H2, as different browsers have different > opinion what H2 tag is :-( H2 tags start H2 elements; all browsers should agree on that. If you have problems with proper structural markup, it probably means that you want pixel perfect control but are not willing to fully specify the style sheet; fully specify it if you don't like the browser's default. However the HTML philosophy is that the user controls the detailed appearance and the author provides them with the information about the document structure to allow them to do that - this results in a consistent presentation that makes it easier for the user to find things.
