Day 5: Ids and classes : div tag :span tag :

 Ids and classes :

  • ids and classes cannot have spaces i.e. "firsttable" is a valid id and class, but "first table" is not a valid id or class.  

<div> tag :

    • <div> tag is used to create a division/section in an HTML document.     
    • It is used as a container for various HTML elements, which can be used to style that section with CSS or can be used to apply javascript to that particular div.           
    • It can be styled with the help of class or id attribute.           
    • It supports all types of content.         
    • It is a block-level element, hence it always starts from a new line.     
    • It  takes up the entire width that is available.

     

      <span> tag :

      • It is an inline container which can be used to mark a particular part of text or even a document.     
      • As it is an inline element, it does not begin on a new line (unlike the block element)           
      • Inline elements will only take up the width that is necessary and not the entire width available.

       

      Example demonstrating difference between <div> (Block element) and <span> inline element :
