<DIV> and <SPAN> Help

hem1234 · 02-22-2008, 06:03 AM

I want some help from the web designer and HTML experts. Can some body explain me what is the difference between div and span. Why span is important?? Should I do HTML coding without span.

<span> is an inline element used to group elements of a document, one typical use is in the application of CSS styles, for example;

Code:

This section of code has been <span class="spanclass">modified with inline span</span> tags.

The <div> tag defines a division/section in a document, a block element. Again this tag can be used in conjunction with CSS to define styles of section of the document and in the use of layout (table-less layout) of pages, for example;

Code:

<p>This is outside the div</p>
<div class="red">
<h1>Inside section</h1.
<p>standard text inside the section</p>
