Description
Defines a container area on the page. Very much in use since the introduction of Dynamic HTML and STYLE sheets, where it can be advantageous to name various sections of the web page without the use of any other tag. Divs are also commonly used to overlay on top of each other, thus providing a means of changing part of a web page without redrawing it.
