Hi All,
I was just wondering whether do I need to wrap a tag (a href="#") in a <p> tag? I guess it can be wrapped in any block level element like div but not sure.
Thanks

A:
It is an inline element and doesn't have to be wrapped anywhere.
The page body is already a block-level element, so anything you have inside it is respectively wrapped by it.

The body element is defined differently in different versions of HTML. In Strict it is defined as `<!ELEMENT BODY O O (%block;|SCRIPT)+ +(INS|DEL) -- document body -->` and may not have `<a>` elements as children.

He didn't ask that. He asked if you need to wrap the anchor tag in a paragraph tag. Example <p><a href="http://example.com" title="Title Here">Link</a></p>

A:
No. If you want to make the anchor element block level you use the css property display: block;
<a href="http://www.google.com/mail" title="Google Web Mail" style="display: block;">Google Mail</a>
You can wrap an anchor in a p element if you want to do something like:
<p>My favorite search engine is <a href="http://www.google.com" title="Google Search Engine">Google</a>, because it allows me to fine tune my search</p>
