The div tag

T

Tony Johansson

Hello!

Is the reason to use the div tag only the following ?
This element is a container for other elements and can be used to separate
different regions on the page.
You can then position these regions and format them separately.

So does this mean that if I don't intend to either position or format a
region separately then it's no point to use the div
element ?

For example what is the point to have the div tag in this document it work
just the same if I remove the div tag ?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Meeting Room</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<h1 style="text-align: center">
Enter details and set a day to initiate an event.
</h1>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

ASP.NET are related to C#, but this question seems to be pure HTML.

I don't see any point at all to have the div elemet in this pice of HTMl
document.

I can not see the point either - div's make most sense to me if they
have either a class or an id.

But then I stopped being uptodate on HTML around HTML 2.0!
