Re: Difference between class and id

Hello Scott,

Yes you are right. It is not always possible to avoid span, see your examples
below used as inline-element when changing colors or expressing something as a
warning  (perhaps is strong here a better element? But that is a personal
preference I believe.) within a paragraph.

When I finish coding a site, I always overlook the code whether I can avoid
superfluous elements, especcially span tags with their classes by putting their
classes in another element. Sometimes it is possible, sometimes not. I always
try to code as compact as possible.

Greetings
Ineke
