I have a question. It involves javascript but is an HTML issue.
Let say we have an inline element like a span how initialy is hidden. when we use a jquery statement to show it (like $("span").show()); the element will became block or it will stay inline. I'm a little confuse.

Elements are by default either block or inline. For example, a DIV is a block element, but a SPAN is an inline element.

I'm glad you got it because i haven't.
@wayfarer07 i know which are block and inline elements by default. I'm can't figure it out if a default inline element and has no css reference, when we change it his state like .show() it will end up a block element. I have done some tests, but i'm not really sure. A span seems to be block after but i'm not sure...

depends on what the $("span").show()) method actually does.

I'd guess that it might just possibly set .style.display = 'block';

The $().show() method in jQuery sets an element's display to its default. In other words, if it's an inline element it gets set to inline, if it's a block element, block.

Tnx wayfarer07. This is the answers that i looked for. I shall check now if there isn't somewhere a js statement or a css class that who makes my span block.
