Hello, I tried the following: <span id="Level1"> <div id="Level2">...</div> </span> But my HTML validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) say that I cannot nest div inside span. Anyone know why? Does the standard say that? I couldn't find any mentioning of this on the web. Thanks, Clement

Because XHTML standard says so. You can't put any tag inside any other tag and expect it to work. In particular, it does not make sense to put block tags inside inline tags. > Does the standard say that? > I couldn't find any mentioning of this on the web. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Transitional -- With best wishes, Igor Tandetnik With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
