<span> is inline element so you can have any no of required span elements inside another html element.

SPAN is a GENERIC inline container. It does not matter whether an a is inside span or span is inside a as both are inline elements. Feel free to do whatever seems logically correct to you.

try this

<a href="#" class="sprite iconSpan textSpan">
  text
</a>

Yes you can have as many as you need :) a attribute is like a div, it covers everything inside it :)

Both forms are legal. (<a> inside <span> or <span> inside <a/>):
