> Isn't making the spans "display: block" the same as just using divs? Not at all. Stop thinking about an HTML element's default styling as having to do with the element at all. HTML tells you about structure. the div(ision) divides parts of the document. It's block-level, because it's for creating blocks of structure. (not at all related to display blocks, except by coincidence) Span creates a division on inline-level elements (like a). So telling your in-line element (span) to display as a box (that's all display:block means) is in no way against the letter or the spirit of the rules. ---Tim ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
