I'm currently studying HTML and CSS. What is the most important thing that I should learn in HTML? I have looked through the common tags, tables, images, things like that and they are very easy to catch on to. What is the most important part of HTML?

There isn't so much to learn in html ...
As you said, tags, tables, images, and the most important for me, forms.
When you know how to use them, you will learn very quickly how to manipulate span, div, id and class for CSS.

I advice you not to learn how to design your website ONLY with html (it is possible with tables, and some tricks), it's really outdated as CSS exists now.
Just learn how to create tables, images, text, then learn CSS. Don't spend very much time in learning html, you will surelly learn a lot of more things while you will learn CSS. Smile

I'm pretty sure that I now understand most of the basics and their uses.

Well the first language which you learn in C.This is the basic of all language.

And if you want to start in the line of Web developement you should start with the basic that is HTML and CSS.

You can directly learn it with tutorials from www.w3schools.com

In CSS what does the <div> tag mean/do?

Akshay* · 10-24-2009, 07:57 AM

@ProspectDotNet

The <div>tag is the division tab.Example <div>tag we use in the HTML.

As
<div align="center">Hello

here in this example <div> is the tag.Align is the property and center is the location of the word Hello.

Okay, division tag. What I don't understand is it's more practical use. You had the example <div align="center>Hello. Why is this different than making a paragraph centered in a style sheet and using it in the body?

Like this:

Code:
<html>

<head>

<style type="text/css">

p.center

{

text-align:center

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<p class="center">Hello</p>

</body

</html>

What is the difference between what I wrote and using the <div> tag? Unless I am still misunderstanding the <div> tag.

Can anyone help me understand this?

It's more used for when you want to call a CSS function.

You would use something like:

Code:
<div id="body">

It would call whatever attributes you specified in your CSS file under the body name.

It's also used a lot when adding a Javascript script in or things of that nature.

I think I know what you are trying to say. Although, in the examples I have read through they use:

Code:
<div class="example">

Is id the first item mentioned? like this:

Code:
p.just   /*this line*/

{

text-alignment:justified

}

Would "p" be the id and "just" be the class?
