Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could give me an explanation of what
the difference between "structural" and "presentational" elements is.
thanks a lot.
I would it explain as follows:
- Anything for the sole purpose of influancing the looks of the content is
a presentational element; For example (tags) <b>, <i> and <u>.
- All the rest is structural, although in graphical browsers they do
influance the looks too; For example (tags) <strong> and <em>.
The structural elements do what the phrase suggests: they provide
structure. They are (in a way) semantic. A paragraph being a paragraph, a
list being a list, a heading being a heading.
