But it also has a sibling element ("p"), which is a block element. *Would you say it's valid?* I've been searching (not too much) but haven't find too much about this. In this article [1], the author talks about *anonymous block boxes*: "For elements containing a mix of block-level elements and inline-level elements (or plain text), so-called anonymous block boxes are generated so that the principal block box then contains nothing but block boxes." [1] An his  example is: <div>     A line of plain text.     <p>A paragraph.</p>     Another line of text. </div> which is slightly different to the one I posted. So, is it valid to mix inline and block elements (as siblings) as long as the inline elements are children of a block element? Thanks in advance and excuse my english.

Though I think it should be perfectly valid to have both inline elements and block elements as children of a div. For example, what if I have an entire column of a page wrapped in a div, which is common practice. Why would every child of that div have to be another block element? ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
