Div or Span?
Span is used when you want to change the properties of an object, without affecting its position. Compare this:
This is a
red text
inside a green text.
with:
This is a red text inside a green text.
In the first case, we have a div inside a div. In the second case we have a span inside a div.
The CSS code is the same, only the HTML code differs.
HTML code - Div inside a Div
HTML code - Span inside a DivCode:<html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = "example.css" /> <head> <body> <div id = "mydiv"> This is a <div id = "myspan">red text</div> inside a green text. </div> </body> </html>
CSS codeCode:<html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = "example.css" /> <head> <body> <div id = "mydiv"> This is a <span id = "myspan">red text</span> inside a green text. </div> </body> </html>
Code:#mydiv { color : green; } #myspan { color : red; }
