Hi all!

I've been searching the Net for an explanation of the DIV versus SPAN
issue but can't get a clear answer. I understand the DIV is
block-level whereas SPAN is inline, but is it possible to nest SPAN
tags?

For example, both result in the same output, but which is technically
correct:

USING SPAN
<span class="mainText">

<p>Blah blah <span class="blueText">blah</span> blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.</p>

<p>Blah blah blah blah <span class="redText">blah blah </span> blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.</p>

</span>


USING DIV
<div class="mainText">

<p>Blah blah <span class="blueText">blah</span> blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.</p>

<p>Blah blah blah blah <span class="redText">blah blah </span> blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.</p>

</div>

Thank you very much in advance for your help
