HTML <div> and <span>

Previous
Next Chapter

HTML elements can be grouped together with <div> and <span>.

HTML Block Elements


Most HTML elements are defined as block level elements or as inline elements.
Block level elements normally start (and end) with a new line when displayed in a browser.
Examples: <h1>, <p>, <ul>, <table>

HTML Inline Elements


Inline elements are normally displayed without starting a new line.
Examples: <b>, <td>, <a>, <img>

The HTML <div> Element


The HTML <div> element is a block level element that can be used as a container for grouping
other HTML elements.
The <div> element has no special meaning. Except that, because it is a block level element, the
browser will display a line break before and after it.
When used together with CSS, the <div> element can be used to set style attributes to large
blocks of content.
Another common use of the <div> element, is for document layout. It replaces the "old way" of
defining layout using tables. Using <table> elements for layout is not the correct use of <table>.
The purpose of the <table> element is to display tabular data.

The HTML <span> Element


The HTML <span> element is an inline element that can be used as a container for text.
The <span> element has no special meaning.
When used together with CSS, the <span> element can be used to set style attributes to parts of
the text.
