what he said... one additional note... instead of using the <span>
tag, try to find some valid HTML tag that implies true structure
instead... define a style for it, class it, insert inline styles, however
you want to do it, but using HTML that has structure is not only
easier to modify, but works better across all sorts of
devices/browsers (i'm thinking of browsers for the disabled and
such)...
many folks here know of my anti-<span> stance... i will always use
a structural tag and style that, or use the container...
for instance, when displaying an order number on a receipt, i could
do:
Your order number is <span style="color:#ff0000;">6</span>
or i could try:
Your order number is <strong style="color:#ff0000;">6</strong>
but then, i've found i only tend to style elements when they stand
out for a reason other than just eye candy, so i've got a different
perspective on that...
