title: Can you have a <span> within a <span>?
body: <p>Here is the story: I'm using SWFObject to insert a Flash object into my page. The embedding eats my <code>span</code>. So, I lose all my CSS for it. I was thinking of moving all of the CSS to the parent so I don't lose my CSS styles when the Flash appears. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried using a <code>span</code> within a <code>span</code>, but I don't think it's working. Is there a reason for this? I don't understand why you could have <code>div</code> within a <code>div</code> but not a <code>span</code> within a <code>span</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Does it have to do with <code>spans</code> being inline?</p>
