<span class="v">

Could anyone tell me what <span class=&quot;v&quot;> means? I know it's a stupid question, but I don't know much javascript. jazzee

It's not Javascript. You really should get a good book on DHTML and CSS, or at least browse some websites like

http://www.DHTMLzone.com/,

http://developer.netscape.com/,

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/

In a sense, <span class=&quot;v&quot;> means whatever you want it to mean, depending on what properties you've given to class &quot;v&quot;. I could go into detail here, but your question is so basic that I think you need some background first.

To add on to rycamor's post, the best place, in my opinion, to start researching html and css would be

http://www.w3.org

(the world wide consortium website). And to further describe <span class=&quot;v&quot;>:

<span> is what is called a block tag. You surround a piece of text, some images, whatever, with <span> and </span>, and anything contained within has a particular style applied to it. This is where the class=&quot;v&quot; comes in. With css (Cascading Style Sheets), you can create a list of styles containing font, color, position and visibility definitions for your page content. One of the popular ways to organize these definitions is a class. So when you have <span class=&quot;v&quot;>, everything between that and </span> could potentially have a 10 point purple arial font, be right justified, aligned to the bottom of the screen and underlined.

Hope this makes some sense. As rycamor stated, it's not Javascript, so this post may be out of line. But if it helps, it helps.
