Quick and easy HTML question

No! CSS is teh rUl3! You should also not use <h#> when you can put them in <span>s and write your own css!

(kidding, of course).

The only tags you ever need are span and div!

You don't even need span, just use div with "display: inline"

Well, stuff like <html> <head> and <body> comes in handy from time to time. As well as some way to bring a stylesheet in.

No need to link an external style sheet, just use inline styles

I'm working on a client's site that someone else had built. It has hundreds of HTML pages and ALL of them are done using divs, inline styles, and absolute positioning. Literally, every element is placed using an absolutely positioned div tag. It's a nightmare, but regex's saved me from doing tons of really tedious work.

That completely defeats the purpose of seperating content from presentation. Plus you can't assign things by class.
