Dave, The trouble is they have two different semantic meanings. The first example contains two paragraphs of text, the second contains one, with for some reason a double line break.
Just because with the default CSS your browser is using (or the override you may have imported), they look the same doesn't mean you are getting the same result. The result is the XHTML, not how is looks once rendered. I would be tempted (putting the cat amongst the pigeons), to say that XHTML doesn't look like anything. Richard. -----Original Message----- Along the course of my coding, I come across two ways of achieving the same result. For example: <div id=content"> <p class="text"> Example text 1 </p> <p class="text"> Example text 2 </p> </div> ----------------------------- <div id=content"> <p class="text"> Example text 1 <br /> <br /> Example text 2 </p> </div> --------------------------- So is it a question of preference? On the one hand, the first example seems more 'formed', but on a sizeable document it may create a larger file (perhaps negligible). I've a mix of both in my coding, and have decided to with one or the other, and at least maintain continuity. Which? ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
