I need to rephrase what I said earlier. If you are using the hcard microformat, or you want to apply styles to each constiuent use <span>. If the previous conditions are not true, then use <br>, because it has much semantic value as <span> and uses less markup.
<span> is a generic container for language or style attributes that can be used to give a document structure - like an inline <div>. In, and of itself it has no semantic meaning, unlike <p>, <h1>, <h2> which are semantic elements. Used with the hcard format -- and provided my browser knows what hcard is (which would be possible if it has a namespace) -- then yes it would have semantic meaning. kind regards Terrence Wood. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +64-4-8033354 mobile: +64-21-120-1234 Mordechai Peller said: > Terrence Wood wrote: >> <span> has absolutely no semantic value, > That's not quite true.
