It isn't. It is however much abused and often used when another semantic tag would do a lot better IMO. <span style="font-weight: bold;">xxx</span> for example, is a travesty. SPAN is badly overused but by no means obsolete. It provides a way of grouping inline elements or text when no appropriately semantic other inline tag exists for a particular purpose. -- Ed Seedhouse ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
