Div Tags

Question

My Question is are Div tags still used, for example if my website has two Section codes one supporting let’s say Favourite Food and the other Favourite Movie would I do <div section=“Movie”></div> and the the same for Food to keep it more organized for CSS or is there another way you do it in HTML5?

Answer 1

We also use sections and articles, now that they are available. These are supposed to represent that the content has meaning and are supposed to help with SEO, so use where appropriate and use div where appropriate.

Hope this clears things up. 🙂

Answer 2

- div tags are used all the time

- div is for grouping content, not code

- section is not a standard attribute ( https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_attributes.asp )

If I've misunderstood your question, please rephrase. 🙂
