HTML & CSS for Beginners Part 10: Divs & Spans

A look at divs and spans, what they are and a little bit of how they work.

This video is part of a large series introducing HTML & CSS to people who have never used it before. The goal of this series is to give you a good enough understanding of HTML and CSS to let you build your first website on your own!

thanks for a brilliant site. You are a very good teacher. Your use of the English language is delightful. I am a retired teacher who has been engrossed with your presentation. I am getting it free on YouTube. That is a gift i cherish.I teach disadvantaged kids as a volunteer mentor. I am learning plenty and will pass this on to my kids. Thank you for making this possible.

The BEST explanation of DIV & SPAN. Thank you Sir for making it clear 👏🏼

This is the BEST explanation of divs and spans I've come across.

Every newbie knows what they are and what they do in principle, but the visualization technique you used in this lesson helps us lock in knowledge. Thank you so much!

"blocks or boxes stack on each other" truly a plain language to describe "div", i just fully understand div's functions, thank you Mr.Kevin !!

[BeckyAlter]

That into and outro music is jsut so good. You hear it then feel like you will learn something good then after its done, its like reminding you that you've actually acheived something.

I have been struggling with understanding CSS selectors. After going through over 10 different materials and videos, I began to understand tag, type, class and ID selectors to some extent. Though still struggling with how they apply. I found your video searching for more explanation on grouping, chaining etc and I decided to go through this one first. It is mind blowing how you have made this very clear. Thank you so much because this video easily cleared all my confusion on the real use of div and span. I will be using your videos hence forth.❤🙏

Kevin, thanks for amazing tutorials. I don't know when to use divs and when to use sections.

[PeterJewell]

Hi Kevin. These tutorials deserve more likes because they are really good!
I watched your tutorial on ::before and ::after and thought, "what editor is he using?"...scroll to the bottom of your list and, hey, there's a basic HTML/CSS tutorial. That'll tell me.
And now I'm using this as a refresher course! (I learned from an actual book must be 20 years ago, and a few things have changed since then. Also good to pick up tips and tricks).
You have a very easy style, no faffing about, straightforward, easy to understand.
Thank you.
