How to use a div tag in HTML?
In HTML, the div tag <div></div> is used to define a section or division in an HTML document. It is used to group block-elements so they can be formatted using CSS or cascading style sheet. It is used in pair and should always have the closing tag </div>.
The div tag is supported in all major web browsers such as Google Chrome, Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera. The div element is very frequently used together with CSS in laying out a web page. Note: web browsers always put a line break before and after the div element by default. On the other hand, it can be modified using CSS.
The div element can make use of the “align” attribute which can have any of the following values: left, right, center, and justify. In HTML 4.01, all values are accepted. In HTML5, the “left” value has been deprecated or is no longer supported. The example below describes the use of the div element.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This text is outside div element.</p>
<div style="color:#F7941D">
<h3>This Heading Is Inside A DIV Element</h3>
<p>This text is outside div element.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Output:
This text is outside div element.
This Heading Is Inside A DIV Element
This text is inside div element.
