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 :
