  So how would i put block level elements inside inline level elements without being arrested by the W3C police and get 20 years to life?

  I just want to make some boxes to be covered entirely by one and the same <a> tag.

  is this possible? workaround? hax0rs?

  thanks.

  don't use an <a> tag - use an onclick event on a <div> instead?

  • yes, i know that.. but then i need to tell the programmer. i guess that is the only way then?– janne76

  ok i'm not sure that putting block elements inside an <a> tag will make your page not validate. if you want block things inside an <a>, why don't you make the <a> with display:block? that should be consistent across browsers, and as far as i know does pass validation.

  block levels can't live inside inline elements - so I've learned :(
  (isn't <a> an inline element, too?)

  • yes - that's why you have to override it in the css with display:block– bigtrickagain1/3

    ahhh...
    I've just got THIS far in CSS;-)

    will not validate though!– janne763/3

  True bigtrick, yet it will not validate even with block override.

  oh booo i guess you're right.
  well, use spans instead of divs, and override the span's display with display:block in the css then - that seems to validate when i try it out.

  also found out you can't put h1, p etc. inside the span, but that is solved with another span inside it with a class assigned to it and let css do the rest.

  just for future reference, heh..

  thanks for the help folks.
