HTML – DIV Tag with CSS

DIV tag in HTML:

  • <div> tag means division or section in HTML page
  • <div> section works like container (separate set of HTML tags)
  • <div> is used to apply styles to specific set of HTML tags using class selector

CSS Padding: It is used to create space around the HTML element content.

<!doctype html>
<html>
            <head>
                        <style>
                                    div {
                                                padding : 70px ;
                                                border : 1px solid blue ;
                                    }
                        </style>
            </head>
            <body>
                        <h1> HTML Div – CSS Padding </h1>
                        <div> This div element with padding </div>
            </body>
</html>

Note: border specification is important for every <div> tag

<!doctype html>
<html>
            <head>
                        <style>
                                    .myDiv{
                                                border : 5px solid red ;
                                                background-color : lightblue;
                                                text-align : center ;
                                    }
                        </style>
            </head>
            <body>
                        <h1> Div Tag Example </h1>
                        <div class=”myDiv”>
                                    <h1> This is Heading tag </h1>
