Definition of DIV

In HTML or XHTML, the

tag defines a division/section in a document.

The

tag defines logical divisions (defined) in your Web page. It acts a lot like a paragraph tag, but it divides the page up into larger sections.

also gives you the chance to define the style of whole sections of HTML. You could define a section of your page as a call out and give that section a different style from the surrounding text.

But that&rsqt;s not all it does! The

tag gives you the ability to name certain sections of your documents so that you can affect them with style sheets or Dynamic HTML.

One thing to keep in mind when using the

tag is that it breaks paragraphs. It acts as a paragraph end/beginning, and while you can have paragraphs within a
you can't have a
inside a paragraph.
