span is just like <div style=display:inline>. A quite useless tag that many HTML designers don't even know existed.

Not useless. (caveat untested code) Say you have a css:


Warning.*{
  color=#YELLOW
}


and you code in your html


print "<SPAN CLASS="WARNING">"My warning</SPAN>";

all over the place, and then your phb says "make the warning section have a blue backround", all you have to do is update your css and then with no code change to current code base and a simple one line update to the css you're done!

Or:

EM.Warning{ color=#YELLOW; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; }

print q(<em class="Warning">My Warning</em>);

Because obviously a warning is a kind of emphasis...
