You can use spans to create inline elements. Remember when we used the `btn-block` class to make the button fill the entire row?
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
< button class = 'btn' style = 'background-color: rgb(0, 100, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);' > normal button< / button >

< button class = 'btn btn-block' style = 'background-color: rgb(0, 100, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);' > btn-block button< / button >

That illustrates the difference between an "inline" element and a "block" element.

By using the inline `span` element, you can put several elements on the same line, and even style different parts of the same line differently.

Using a `span` element, nest the word `love` inside the `p` element that currently has the text `Things cats love` . Then give the `span` the class `text-danger` to make the text red.

Here's how you would do this for the `p` element that has the text `Top 3 things cats hate` :
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
`<p>Top 3 things cats <span class="text-danger">hate:</span></p>`
# --hints--
Your `span` element should be inside your `p` element.
```js
assert($('p span') & & $('p span').length > 0);
```
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
Your `span` element should have just the text `love` .
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
assert(
$('p span') & &
$('p span').text().match(/love/i) & &
!$('p span')
.text()
.match(/Things cats/i)
);
```
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
Your `span` element should have class `text-danger` .
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
assert($('span').hasClass('text-danger'));
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
```
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
Your `span` element should have a closing tag.
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
assert(
code.match(/< \/span > /g) &&
code.match(/< span / g ) & &
code.match(/< \/span > /g).length === code.match(/< span / g ). length
);
```
