Thank you all ...

A little while I tried the span tag inside the h1 tag but I was trying
to figure if there was another way.

I was trying to avoid adding one more tag.

I see using span tags inside other tags very often for solving a few
issues like in menus that uses lists. For example:

<ul>
<li>
<a id="singup" href="/signup/">
<span>
Sign-Up
</span>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a id="tour" href="/tour/workflow">
<span>
Tour
</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>

About the Foreground color I do set it up. I was just placing the code
directly related to my problem.

Thank You,
Miguel

What issue does the addition of a span do for you here?

...and therein lies the reason everyone asks for a URL, instead of code
fragments. When people just post bits of code, there is often other
necessary bits incorrect or unmentioned that could be the reason for the
problem.

Like your:

<ul>
<li>
<a id="singup" href="/signup/">
<span>
Sign-Up
</span>
</a>
....

1. You could assign CSS to: li a { } and not need a <span>
2. Do you *really* have id="singup" misspelled in your test page?

Better still:

h1 span{ color: white; background: black; }

Just in case some odd style sheet sets a (possibly white) background
image for the element. Very unlikely, but why not take the precaution,
especially when it makes the rule shorter?

Moreover, adding something like
padding: 0 0.2em
would probably be a good idea. You don't want the heading text to extend
to the very edge of the background area but leave a little padding
there.
