Am I hurting the semantic ?

[Mamoon Rashid]

Hi,

I normally do this.

<h1> Heading </h1>


Para </p>


Para 2 </p>
<h1> Heading 2 </h1>

and so on....

recently I checked my page with google semantics and while it showed the text inside <h1> </h1> it was not showing text in the

</p>

so I instad of doing

</p> for paragraphs.. I did this..

<h1> Heading </h1>
<h2> Para 1 </h2>
<h2 Para 2 </h2>
<h1> Heading 2 </h1>
<h2> para 1 </h2>
<h2> para 2 </h2>

and so on..

now when I check the semantics..it shows me all the text on my page...

now I am wondering...cuz I know this is kinda wrong use for <h2> instead of

... that if I can get penalized for trying something like this ?

comments ?

You may not use more than once the <h1> tag.
Ref: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/Use_h1_for_Title and http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/headings

you can use multiple headings just use <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc....

Jaan, the question was if it is semantically correct using the <h1> more than once.

The answer again is NO! http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/block/h1.html

If you use more than once, you screw the document outlining.

<h2> Heading 2 </h2>
