Suppose you have this html:
<span> aaa </span> <a> bbb </a>
<br>
<span> ccccccc </span> <a> dddd </a>
You need the span to be of a certain width, so there is a certain layout.
How do you do this without resorting to floating divs?
You could style the spans to be
display: block, orinline-block(IE sometimes has issues with this) and then define the width.Why? Well, span is a inline elmenent, and you cannot define width and height on inline elements, so you must “convert” the span to a block element.
