I've never seen such 'nesting' listed anywhere in any CSS how-to info, and I presume that (a) if it were possible, the technique would have been published, and (b) it hasn't been published because it doesn't work. Having said that, I haven't ever tested it, so I don't know for sure... What you

[WSG] css syntax question

Hi, first time poster... anyway. I think most would agree that forcing Hx elements to become inline elements, rather than block level elements, is a poor use of the markup. In other words, semantically it's probably not the best idea. Technically you could take an unordered list and style it so
