Block vs. Inline Display • New tags: • <div>...</div> • "division", or block of text in the page • <span>…</span> • “span” of text, or a snippet of text in a line. • Difference: • “Block” vs. “inline” • An inline object is treated like a letter in the paragraph that contains it. • A block element starts a new line before and after it, takes all horizontal space available (by default).
Examples • Elements displayed as blocks (by default): • H1…H6 • P, TABLE, FORM, BLOCKQUOTE • UL, OL, DL, LI, … • DIV • Elements displayed as inline (by default): • A • STRONG, EM • KBD, SAMP, CODE, ABBR, ACRONYM • INPUT, IMG • SPAN
Controlling Block/Inline Display • The CSS display property sets block vs. inline display. Examples (in stylesheets): • img { display: block; } • li { display: inline; } • display can also tell the browser not to show something at all: • img { display: none; }
Demo …on the server. Includes example of making a horizontal navigation menu by setting LI elements’ display to inline. For more info, see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/
