HTML DIV Tag

Reference on the HTML div Element. Includes useful Example, and background information.

The html div element is used to divide a page into sections. Divisions are usually used together with other block-level elements to layout pages.

HTML div example

Note: There is an example of a 3-column layout, using a single division, and ordered lists instead of tables. See: Using Block Elements and Divisions Instead of Tables.

<body>
    <div id="Basement">
    </div>
</body>

The above division, has a unique ID, which we may refer to in the CSS. Use classes for recurring divisions.
