Concept 5: HTML Division

HTML Division

:dart: Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you will:

Understand what HTML div elements are and why we use them
Create and style div containers for your web content
Use multiple divs to organize your webpage sections
Build nested div structures for complex layouts
Add visual enhancements with icons and favicons

:information_source: HTML Division Definition The HTML division element (<div>) is a container that helps organize content on your webpage. Think of it as an invisible box that groups related elements together!

Why Use Div Elements? :emoji:

As you build webpages, you'll add more and more HTML elements. The <div> element helps you:

Group related elements - Keep headings, paragraphs, and images together
Apply styles easily - Add colors, borders, or spacing to entire sections
Organize content - Create clear sections like headers, main content, and footers

:memo: Note Remember: A <div> by itself is invisible! It only shows up when you add CSS styles to it.

:package: Basic Div Usage

Let's create your first div container!

index.html

html

<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="section1">
      <h1>Ways to make your cat happy</h1>
      <p>Feed it and play with it.</p>
    </div>
</body>

style.css

css

.section1 {
    background-color: lightgreen;
}

What happens:

:white_check_mark: With CSS: Your div gets a light green background color
:x: Without CSS: The div stays invisible (but still groups your content!)

:art: Multiple Div Elements

You can use multiple divs to create different sections on your page. Each div can have its own style!

:bulb: Tip Pro Tip: Use the class attribute to give each div a unique name. This helps you style them differently!

Let's see how it works:

index.html

html

<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="section1">
      <h1>Ways to make your cat happy</h1>
      <p>Feed it and play with it.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="section2">
      <h1>Ways to keep your cat healthy</h1>
      <p>Feed it with good food and let it exercise.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="section3">
      <h1>Experience sharing</h1>
      <p>It is hard for me to feed the cat with medicine
         when it is sick.</p>
    </div>
</body>

style.css

css

.section1 {
     background-color: lightgreen;
}
.section2 {
     background-color: lightsalmon;
}
.section3 {
     background-color: lightskyblue;
}

Result: You'll see three colorful sections:

:emoji: Section One: Light green background
:emoji: Section 2: Light salmon background
:emoji: Section 3: Light sky blue background

Each section is now visually separate!

🪆 Nested Div Elements

You can put divs inside other divs - like Russian nesting dolls! This creates a parent-child relationship.

:information_source: Think of it this way: A parent div is like a big box, and child divs are smaller boxes inside it.

Here's how to nest divs:

index.html

html

<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="my-pet">
      <div class="section1">
        <h1>Ways to make your cat happy</h1>
        <p>Feed it and play with it.</p>
      </div>
      <div class="section2">
        <h1>Ways to keep your cat healthy</h1>
        <p>Feed it with good food and let it exercise.</p>
      </div>
      <div class="section3">
        <h1>Experience sharing</h1>
        <p>It is hard for me to feed the cat with medicine
           when it is sick.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
</body>

style.css

css

.my-pet {
     background-color: tomato;
}
.section1 {
     background-color: lightgreen;
}
.section2 {
     background-color: lightsalmon;
}
.section3 {
     background-color: lightskyblue;
}

Result: You'll see a layered effect:

:emoji: The outer container (my-pet) has a tomato background
Inside it, the three sections keep their individual colors
This creates a frame effect around your content!

:emoji: Parent and Child Elements

Let's understand the family relationship between divs:

Parent Element = The outer div (my-pet) that contains other divs
Child Elements = The inner divs (section1, section2, section3) inside the parent

:memo: Note Quick Check: In our example:

Parent: <div class="my-pet">

Children: All three section divs inside it

:memo: Quick Summary

Before watching the video, remember these key points:

Divs are containers that group content together
They're invisible until you add CSS styles
You can have multiple divs with different classes
Divs can be nested inside each other
Parent divs contain child divs

Done! Your custom favicon shows up in the browser tab!

Font Awesome Icons :art:
