I will be doing a very brief but concise difference between div and span. I some of you might have asked questions like, whats the difference between div and span? Whats the effect of using each? When should I use each of them? I will try as much as possible to give answers to the questions in the best understanding way I can. Div stands for division and it was introduced basically for doing layouts. The div tag is a block level element and must be used only in places where block level elements are legal. As a block level element, div creates a line break. The content of the div does not determine the width of the div but the width size given to it through CSS or it will take the full width of the seen if none is given. Span on the other hand is an inline level element and as an inline level element, it must only contain other inline elements. Span does not create line break. The width of span depends upon the content of itself. Let me explain all this with some examples to make things more clearer. <!DOCTYPE html>You should get a screen similar to below. <!DOCTYPE html>The code snippets above is wrong because I placed a block level element within an inline level element. Conclusion I hope this post has been helpful in differentiating between div and span.
