<SPAN> Tag

[ccnk]

I know this is not FW related, it's just a quicky anyway:

I noticed that Dreamweaver sometimes applies the <SPAN> tag to my text.
But at other times it does not. Does this have anything to do with the
fact that my text is inside another element such as a Div or a
Table(Cell)? I was just updating my freestyler site locally and it added
the same <SPAN> tag again. I must add that I have a seperate CSS style
applied to my Div. So if i'm right - according to my theory - the <SPAN>
tag is only applied when the element in which the <SPAN> text is
contained already has a style applied to it.

I remember reading about this in the Dreamweaver 4 Bible which I read
from beginning to end and backwards... Two ways to apply a style 1)
Normal style; 2) Spanning the tag. I DO know that whenever I select a
portion of text from a sentence or a continuous block of text (meaning
no <p> tags inbetween continuous lines of text) - that a <SPAN> tag is
applied. I understand this HAS to be done in this way otherwise the
browser would never know that this part of the sentence or block of text
has to be rendered in another style than the style applied to the rest
of the sentence or block of text.

If i'm asking too much, let me know.

The SPAN tag is used when the selection is less than the whole block level
element. If you select one word within a <P>, it will use a span. If you
select the entire <P>, it should add the class to the <P> tag.
