HTML CSS font color vs span style

Question

What should I use    lt span style  color red  gt test lt  span gt    or   lt font color  red  gt test lt  font gt    and why

User · Answer

The  lt font gt  tag has been deprecated  at least in XHTML  That means that it s use is officially  frowned upon   and there is no guarantee that future browsers will continue to display the text as you intended   You have to use CSS  Go with the  lt span gt  tag  or a separate style sheet  According to its specification  the  lt span gt  tag has no semantic meaning and just allows you to change the style of a particular region

Neither  You should separate content and presentation  giving your HTML code logical codes  Think of it this way  to a blind person  or on a browser that cannot display colors  what is left of your code  Why do you want it to be red   Most probably  your decision to make text red is because you want to give it emphasis  So your HTML code should be    lt em gt test lt  em gt    This way  even non-visual browsers can make sure they give the text emphasis in one way or another   Next step is to make the text red  But you don t want to add the color code everywhere  much more efficient to just add it once    lt style gt    em   color  red     lt  style gt    This way  all emphasized code on your website becomes red  making it more constant
