Hi Mike, I was considering using <span>'s instead of <div>'s for my example but was a little torn between the two as I'd usually use <span>'s for their inline purpose in a block of text or for styling something within an inline element (when obviously a <div> would be invalid).
I suppose in either case it's using the tag for something that it wasn't really meant for and as someone mentioned earlier is being misused slightly due to lack of a better alternative using CSS2.1 Your example does highlight the fact that I could probably do away with the topleft div in any case though as this could be applied to container <div> :o) Thanks Dave - - - - - - - - - - http://www.dave-woods.co.uk On 31/10/2007, Mike at Green-Beast.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can offer this simple method: > http://mikecherim.com/experiments/css_smart_corners.php > > I prefer spans over divs because divs do have semantic value as divisions > whereas span are like puffs of air in that they serve as nothing more than a > hook for styles, etc. I'd rather offer a span to accept the background than > a full div. > > That's my take on it anyway. > > Cheers. > Mike Cherim > http://green-beast.com/ > > > > > > ******************************************************************* > List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm > Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ******************************************************************* > > ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
