As defined in the HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 standards, a
<div>
tag divides your document into separate, distinct sections. It may be
used strictly as an organizational tool, without any sort of formatting
associated with it, but it becomes more effective if you add the
id
and
class
attributes to label the divisions. The
<div>
tag also may be com-
bined with the
align
attribute to control the alignment of whole sections
of your document's content in the display and with the many program-
matic "on event" attributes for user interaction.
