Div tag Usage
- The div tag is the block-level tag.
- It is used for applying styles and layout structure
<div>
and allows us to manipulate and position content through CSS. - It also divides content into logical sections, aiding in the readability and maintainability of the code.
- As we know a Div tag is a block-level tag, the div tag contains the entire width. Hence, every div tag will start from a new line and not the same line.
Example 1: In this example, we will see the implementation div tag with an example.
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Div Tag</title>
<style type=text/css>
p {
background-color: gray;
margin: 10px;
}
div {
color: white;
background-color: 009900;
margin: 2px;
font-size: 25px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div> div tag </div>
<div> div tag </div>
<div> div tag </div>
<div> div tag </div>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Example 2: In this example we don’t use div tag and hence we need to apply CSS for each tag (in the example using H1 H2 and two paragraphs p tags)
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Div Tag</title>
<style type=text/css>
p {
color: white;
background-color: 009900;
width: 400px;
}
h1 {
color: white;
background-color: 009900;
width: 400px;
}
h2 {
color: white;
background-color: 009900;
width: 400px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

HTML Div Tag
The HTML <div> tag defines sections in HTML documents, serving as containers styled with CSS or controlled with JavaScript. It’s easily customized using class or id attributes and can contain various content.
Note: Browsers add line breaks before and after <div> elements by default.
