HTML Tutorial for Beginners 13 - The div Tag

Yo Ninjas! In this HTML lesson we're going to take our coding skills up a notch and introduce the mighty DIV tag!! This is a versatile HTML tag that can help to organise your code and provide useful when we style our pages in CSS!

Beware ninjas - do not be too gung-ho with the div tag and use it everywhere! There are newer, HTML5 semantic tags which we can use in conjunction with our div tags to make our pages even better! Look out for my HTML5 course in the future :).

That’s great - I’m just learning HTML and CSS, trying to get my head around DIV tags. It’s so much easier for me to learn by visual rather than just reading instructions. Thanks

Wow, i cannot believe a video that is posted 8 years ago is sooo easy to understand and clear, really good explanation ! (2024 btw)

Thank you very much for a quick, yet detailed listing of why div tags matter.
-Dividing sections for organizational clarity
-For use in CSS to come
-Semantics and naming convention separation

And what's <section>, <span> and <container> then used for?

Thank you Net Ninja! It is refreshing to see a video so clear and straight to the point.

My notes: div creates divisions of the contents in HTML. This will come handy when combined with "class" and "id"

Shawn, Excellent tutorials! If you haven't or haven't considered it, you should do tutorials on languages Such As Java, C++, and C#. as detailed as you get in these web series, you'd undoubtedly amass quite the following for anyone wanting to learn programming. Java would be an excellent place to start. Thanks for these tutorials bro!

Why and how do you indent code please?

Hi I have a very important question : why don't you use <header>, <main>, <footer> tags for split up your page in different sections? Does div tag has no semantical meaning?
... Thank you for your answer

[nompumelelongoma]

i love it, but if would've worked better for me if i saw the end results

[beepboopgpt]

Great help to this confusing <div> tag.

Hi I'm new to html but... shouldn't the contact info go in the foot instead of the bottom of the body?

[AlexanderFowles]
