This may come as a surprise, but html does not really understand tags in the form <span/>. These are added in XHTML so that the html can be well-formed XML. HTML will still work but will simply not interpret the tag.... for example: <p style="color:red" /> Hello World the "/" is ignored so rather than being interpreted as <p style="color:red"></p> Hello World it is interpreted as... <p style="color:red"> Hello World</p> Thus, hello world will unexpectedly be red. This is a common pitfall when moving to using XHTML. In general, you need to use actual closing tags for all elements except for the ones that can never include content. That is you can use: <br /> <area /> <link /> <img /> <param /> <hr /> <input /> <base /> <meta /> and <col /> All other tags you should use open/close tags even if they have no content... so.... <span></span> <div></div> rather than <span /> <div />. Also, notice I put a space between the name of the tag and the " />". This is also for HTML compatibility. So generally you should use <br /> not <br/>.
