css - HTML element which defaults to display:inline-block?

Question

<div> defaults to block

<span> defaults to inline

Is there one that defaults to inline-block?

If not, what special tag name would be appropriate for me to apply 'inline-block' using CSS?
Or should I stick to using a class?

Answer 1

From what I can tell the <img> tag is the only inline-block by default. To be on the safe side I would recommend a class, you never know when changing all elements of a certain type will come back to bite you. Or, you could always make up your own tag and assign display:inline-block; to it. This way you aren't changing the default functionality of standard elements...

EDIT

It also appears that button, textarea, input, and select elements are also inline-block

Sources:

According to this img is inline-block http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/img.html#img-display

And here claims that button, textarea, etc. are as well: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/sample.html

EDIT #2

While the source above claims that img tags are inline-block it seems (thanks to Alohci) that they are just inline http://jsfiddle.net/AQ2yp/

The following were tested in Firefox:

button is inline-block: http://jsfiddle.net/GLS4P/

textarea is inline: http://jsfiddle.net/235vc/

input is inline: http://jsfiddle.net/RFKe8/

select is inline-block: http://jsfiddle.net/5B4Gs/
