can anyone tell me the difference between strong and b tag
Nice thread, i also wanted to know about that.
<b> is a style - we know what "bold" is supposed to look like.
<strong> however is an indication of how something should be understood. "Strong" could mean "bold" in a browser, but it could also mean a lower tone for a speaking program like Jaws.
thanks for sharing this information with us.Quote:

Thanks, but which tag are potential for search engine friendly design.
Bold is to bold a word whereas strong tag is to indicate how something is understood. Strong is to give importance to the text
We can use both but here you have the clear explanation:
But how can someone understand something is written in bold tag and something is written in strong tag, both look similar to the reader. I personally don't think that it makes any different in any form.Quote:

Bold is used to style a word or a character while strong is used for giving emphasis on a word.
Additionally, <strong> conveys a significance - demonstrating to the quick determinedly - same time <b> (for bold) conveys a strategy - bolding the content. With strong, your code even now bodes well if you utilize CSS stylesheets should transform the thing that the routines from claiming settling on the quick solid may be. The same dives to those distinction between <i> Furthermore <em> ".
i Think, you should use strong tag for bold in web page.
In HTML <strong> and <b> both exist and have a different meaning.
The <b> tag is for "offset text conventionally styled in bold". If you read deeper into the details you'll see it adds, "without conveying any extra emphasis or importance".
<strong> is different. It "represents a span of text with strong importance. " There is semantic meaning of importance here. In fact, a <strong> tag within another <strong> tag has even more importance there is nested importance.
We use it to bold the text.
you should use strong tag for bold text.
