Difference Between Block level And Inline Elements?

Block Level Elements:

  • A block-level element always starts on a new line, and browsers automatically add some space (a margin) before and after it.
  • A block-level element always takes up the full width available, stretching out to the left and right as far as it can.
  • Two commonly used block elements are: <p> and <div>.
  • The <p> element defines a paragraph in an HTML document.
  • The <div> element defines a division or a section in an HTML document.

Here is a list of block-level elements in HTML:

<address> <article> <aside> <blockquote> <canvas><dd> <div> <dl> <dt>
<fieldset> <figcaption> <footer> <form> <h1> <h6> <header> <hr> <
li> <main><nav> <noscript> <ol> <pre> <section> <table> <tfoot> <ul> <video>
 
  • These elements typically start on a new line and take up the full width available in the parent container

Inline Elements:

  • Inline elements do not start on a new line.
  • An inline element only takes up as much width as it needs.
  • This is a <span> element inside a paragraph.

Here is a list of inline elements in HTML:

<a> <abbr> <acronym> <b> <bdo> <big> <br> <button> <code> <dfn> <em>
<i> <img> <input> <kbd> <lable> <map> <object> <output> <samp> <script> 
<small> <span> <strong> <sub> <sup> <textarea> <time> <tt> <var>
 

NOTE: An inline element cannot contain a block-level element!
