Why doesn't my div inside a span work properly?

Question

I\'m writing the following HTML markup:

 Some Text
    
татата

and s

Answer 1

Your markup is incorrect ( plus missing semi-colon as quoted by Steini, mentioning this for sake of completeness of answer )

Answer 1 : span is an inline element, so having a div inside span is a bad idea, also, it would be better, if you nest span inside span and give inner span display:block property!

Answer 2 : add display:block to span to change the default behavior

working fiddle with correct markup

fiddle with the layout you wanted
