Hi all,
One can connect a CSS style to a HTML tag. I want to create a text in
the style footer. I can do:
<font class="footer">Here is my great footer.</font>
However, the <font> tag is depreciated in HTML 4.0 and I would like to
stick to the rules as much as possible. I tried to create my own tag
(see below), but that did not work. I do not want to use <p> or
<table> in this case.
<footer>Here is my great footer.</footer>
What can I do?
Thank you in advance,
Louis.

Why not <p class="footer">???</p> The styling for class="footer" can be
placed after the <p> styling in the css file and override everything
declared.

deprecated not depreciated, though it is that as well.

What is the footer? It's probably not a paragraph or a table so <p> or
<table> would indeed be poor choices. Is it a division of your page?
In that case the <div> element would make the most sense.
However, as straight replacement for <font> the <span> element is
simplest.

"span" and "div" are the tags you want. Use "span" for text level
(in the middle of a paragraph, say) and "div" for block level.
If you have a footer then probably it's outside the normal text flow
and you want
<div class="footer">I use Dr.Scholl's.</div>
I have a class "key" for key words and phrases, so I might wrote
something like
<p>When your statistical test fails to reject H<sub>o</sub>,
you must write your conclusion in <span class="key">neutral
language</span>.</p>

I should add that you use "span" and "div" when no other tag is more
appropriate. For instance, <font> is wildly inappropriate to mark a
footer. <p> might make sense, but if the footer is multiple
paragraphs then you'd need to wrap all of them in a <div>.
But in my example <p>When your statistical test fails to reject H<sub>o</sub>, you must write your conclusion in <span class="key">neutral language</span>.</p>
it could be as good -- maybe better -- to use the "strong" tag since
any browser will then show some emphasis:
<p>When your statistical test fails to reject H<sub>o</sub>,
you must write your conclusion in <strong class="key">neutral
language</strong>.</p>
And in fact that's what I actually do. I was trying to keep things
simple in my earlier note.

Use <span> or if you mean it to be a block element, use <div>

If it wasn't for muscle spasms, I wouldn't get any exercise at all.
Thank you kindly. I did not know about span and div. I looked into it
and started using it. Works great.
Louis.

No.
I tried to create my own tag
Funny what people try to do instead of reading up on the matter.
I do not want to use <p> or <table> in this case.
Depending on what your footer contains, 'address' may be the most
appropriate element. Anyway, why do you post such a mark-up question to
ciwas instead of ciwah?
Please post to this newsgroup,
Sure, who would do differently?
