HTML span Tag

The information on this page is based on HTML version 4.01 (which is the current version of HTML). The next version, HTML 5, is currently being written. Here's a list of HTML 5 tags.

The HTML span tag is used for grouping and applying styles to inline elements.

The difference between the span tag and the div tag is that the span tag is used with inline elements whilst the div tag is used with block-level content.

Example


<p>The <span style="color:green">span tag</span> and the <span style="color:purple">div tag</span> are *OK* man.</p>
</div>
