Is The Div Tag Causing You Woes?

Well, there is absolutely no need for that to be the case!
When first learning how to code a web page, there tends to be some confusion about the div tag with regard to what it is, where to apply it, and how to make it work. And frankly, I’ve seen more than a few professionally developed web site where div tags were not performing up to their full potential. Translation: ooops!
If you’ve not taken my introductory coding course here at LVS, you, too, may have experienced a hiccup or two when applying a div tag.
If that sounds like something you’d be interested in finding out more about, I’ve put together a quick and simple tutorial that may help clarify that pesky div tag issue you’re having. Your world will be a better place to live once you learn how to "divide and conquer" your web pages.
Let me know what you think by leaving a comment either here or on the article page.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your great article “divide and conquer” Deb. Please Excuse my wit, but you might say ide and conquer too!
One thing is for sure, I’m going to print this up and put it with my Build I lessons.
Another way to look at the problem of learning code is always helpful Keep up the good work.

Sorry about that last ‘hiccup’ Deb.
I meant to say: <div>ide and conquer! That’s what I get for trying to be funny. . . .

A clear explanation of the use of div class and a bonus to see how inheritance could cause an unexpected output.
Thanks Deb.
