moving from html to xhtml

[SFB]

I have been making the necessary changes to make my pages into xhtml. one thing i have found is that the browsers change how they read a page by the doctype. anyways now the <div> tag has a line break after it like the <p> did in html. this is happening for me in IE, Opera, and firefox it may be more browsers but those are all the ones i have. I was wondering if there was a way to remove the line break that is automatically added. or i could settle with another tag that does the same thing without the line break. i am using css to change the style of some words and now when switching to xhtml i have line breaks in places they are not needed.

No <div style="display:inline">Line </div>Break

or the span tag

How <span>Are </span>You

thanks, i will use the div and add that to the style sheet that way it will be less work for me!

Nowadays, divs are block elements in xhtml that is why

Haven't divs always been block elements? I thought divs and spans were essentially the same thing, except spans are inline and divs are block. If that's not true, when did divs become block?

I don't know, just being precautiously
