| display |
Some HTML elements will take up a block(full display line) by default. But they can be set to inline where needed. And tags that do not block by default can render as a block if you define it for the element's display attribute. The <IMG> and <SPAN> tags are inline by default, while <DIV> and <P> elements display as blocks by default. Try putting two raw <P> tags on the same display line. Not possible unless you set the display value correctly.
<p style="display: inline;">Hello</p>
<p style="display: inline;"> World</p>
Try the example above, then remove the styling and view it. Or change "inline" to "block" and view. |
