<DIV> - Dividing and Grouping Content

`<DIV></DIV>` - Dividing and Grouping Content

This tag is used to divide and section block-level content (such as tables, paragraphs, and lists). Styles and alignment can be applied to the section using the align attribute and style sheets. The tag may also act as a container for inline content (text, links, and formatting elements), similar to the way <P> works.

This tag must be closed at the end of the grouped content by typing </DIV>.

Presentational Attributes

D	`align=`	[CI]
	`"left"`	Specifies left alignment.
	`"center"`	Specifies centered content.
	`"right"`	Specifies right alignment.
	`"justify"`	Justifies content. If unsupported, it reverts to the default
	This attribute controls content/text alignment. The default value is inherited; otherwise, it is left for left-to-right designated sections and right for right-to-left ones.

Samples:

Section A

Discussion of topic "A"

Section B

Discussion of topic "B"

Subsection B.1

Discussion of topic "B.1"

Here is the code for the sample above:

<DIV align=center> <H3>Section A</H3> <P>Discussion of topic "A"</P> </DIV> <DIV align=right> <H3>Section B</H3> <P>Discussion of topic "B"</P> <DIV> <H4>Subsection B.1</H4> <P>Discussion of topic "B.1"</P> </DIV> </DIV>

Notice that the <DIV> designating subsection B.1 does not have its align attribute set. It reverts to the default, which is inherited. Since it is a descendant (within) the <DIV> designating Section B, it inherits right alignment.
