<p>I was wondering if the audio and video elements block or inline elements?</p>

<p>I ran the following web page in Chrome 11...</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code><!DOCTYPE html> <audio></audio> <canvas></canvas> <script> var c = document.getElementsByTagName('audio')[0]; alert(getComputedStyle(c, null).display); </script> </code></pre> <p>...and it reported <code>inline</code> for both canvas and audio. For what it's worth.</p>

Are the audio and video elements for html5 inline or block elements?

I ran the following web page in Chrome 11...

<!DOCTYPE html>

<audio></audio>
<canvas></canvas>

<script>
var c = document.getElementsByTagName('audio')[0];
alert(getComputedStyle(c, null).display);
</script>

...and it reported inline for both canvas and audio. For what it's worth.
