I write at this way at http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Teaching/Attributes2c.html#SPAN: SPAN is semantic a quasi-inline, quasi-structural element. It's an inline version of DIV, but DIV is an element container, and so therefore, is SPAN too. That's why they called it SPAN to try to take away some of the ambiguity. At that mean it's half inline and half structural element. The behavior is inline like in the element B (it doesn't have natural semi block behavior like DEL). Even if inline elements are not actual structural elements, it is not incorrect to classify SPAN in XHTML 1.1 modularization in semantic meaning as the Inline Structural element. I would however call this module just Inline Span, because the classification of W3C create confusion, what is the difference in behavior between inline and block level elements. ------------------------------------------------------ Tapio Markula I like __ ¦__¦__ Cascading ¦__¦__¦__ Style ¦__¦__¦__¦ Sheets I have made something also with XML and XSL ------------------------------------------------------ E:mail: tapio.markula@nic.fi http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/index.html (Finnish) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/index_e.html (English) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Opetus/ (CSS2) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Teaching/ (CSS2) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Opetus/XSL-new.html (XML) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Teahing/XSL-new.html (XML) ------------------------------------------------------
