Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	From the W3C: [quote]The P element represents a paragraph. It cannot contain block-level elements (including P itself). We discourage authors from using empty P elements. User agents should ignore empty P elements.[/quote] So, yes, the <p> tag is supposed to enclose a paragraph of text. In deciding whether to use <p> or <br>, think, "is this a full paragraph?" Not in terms of visual presentation, but in terms of structure. Paragraphs can be single sentences, but choose as best you can. Now, I believe heaader tags (h1 - h6) are considered block-level, which means they're not allowed in P elements, as said above. The W3C spec doesn't explicitly say this, although it is implied, since header elements have line breaks before and after them by default. This page [url=http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/HTML/Block/]http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/HTML/Block/[/url] seems to think they're block-level, and I've been under the impression that they are also, so I wouldn't put headers within p tags. [edit: Here's an idea. Try validating it. See what the validator says about it.] [This message has been edited by Slime (edited 02-26-2003).] Loading...
