What Is a Div in HTML? (+Site Structure)

What is Div in HTML? The use of the <div> tag is to specify a section within an HTML document. The <div> tag is used to align the data in the HTML file with the help of CSS more or less right and left. So if we think of divs as boxes, we can place videos, images, and text inside.

In the titles I give below, I will show the advantages of structure with div over the tabular structure.

  • In terms of faster loading times of the pages, if the website is designed with div, the sites load faster because it contains less code.
  • For Lower Hosting fees, under this heading, you will see less hosting charges for load time and less bandwidth usage, and thus less paying to host companies.
  • It is very easy to redesign with CSS on efficiency because the content layout shapes are separate. It is very easy due to updating CSS files and changes.
  • For better SEO, the coding structure is more organized and less code than the tabular structure, which is an advantage for search engines to index. Google, Yandex, etc. Like search engines, they give priority to sites organized with div.
  • Layout and design sophistication: Compared to HTML tables, CSS allows you to be completely free in design. CSS-based designs are flexible, extensible, and completely fluid, whereas HTML tables are, in contrast, inflexible solid, and grid-based.
  • It is more compatible with teamwork. In structures with div, the background and frontend of the website are distinguished. In this way, it creates an easier and more understandable communication between interface programs and developers.
  • It is cheaper if you want to redesign, and different designs are easier to adapt.

Structural Benefits

Here are the structural benefits of a Div:

  • This is a future-oriented structure. The new tags added to HTML5, and the structure of HTML5 are a continuation of div coding.
  • DIV and SPAN elements are meaningless tags; In other words, unlike other tags (such as “p” or “h1”), style and CSS properties must be specified separately as they do not have any visual attributes associated with them. With CSS, developers must assign all the attributes they have to them, usually using the “class” and “id” attributes.
  • The DIV tag is a block-level element. Each time the div tag is turned on and off, it will move to the next line. We can also use div alone or as a nested structure.
Site Structure

Site Structure

DIV tags are also used for general layout. Using CSS, you can place DIV elements anywhere on the website and embed elements we want.

You can see the site structure with the example I gave below:

header: Contains the title and description of the website. If you only want to have headers, you only need to use one of six headers (h1-h6).

nav: The menu means the navigation area. You can use it for navigation links or content lists.

section: General section element. It could be an article with a title and subfields.

article: Represents an article or text field. This includes blog posts, comment areas, news, etc., can be for.

acid: separate from the main content, and the content is written with a surface attachment.

footer: represents a subdomain. This can be a subfield of a page, section, or post.

The representation of the site structure in HTML is as follows:

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<div class=”header”> </div>

<div class=”nav”> </div>

    <div class=”section”>

    <div class=”header2″> </div>

    <div class=”article”> </div>

    <div class=”footer2″> </div>

</div>

<div class=”aside”> </div>

<div class=”footer”></div>

</body>

</html>

But they don’t make sense like this. We need to shape this structure with CSS.
