<div>

[noa]

hi, As far as I understood the "div" is actually a crier of an elemnet, like text, image, etc'...I saw that in order to use this carier, first you have to define it in the head, and than in he "bottom" body to use it...? The problem is that I manage to understand this theoritically, but not practically, so, I am looking for a simple practical answear actaully to be able to use this <div>; If soimeone can explain this I will be gratefull....Thanks, Noa

A div is well... A division. You have to imagine your page separated into different chuncks, each using a div which you can then use CSS to position the way you want them.

You don't need to define divs in the head, just in the body. By w3schools.com's definition it is a division of a page. It doesn't need any refrence from the head. Hope that helps.

divs are easy to understand using an analogy.think about your page as the space under your bed.think about divs as empty shoe boxes.think about your images, lists, paragraphs, and any other html or javascript.think about your css as... well, you.you put your stuff(html things) into your shoeboxes(divs) and then you(css) arrange them the way you want it under your bed(your page).=) hope that helpsgoogle "liquid websites using divs and css" or "no tables" for really indepth explainations.

nice analogy, they are always fun. so using that appraoch, once I put all my things in my shoe boxes and I "arrange them ... under my bed" that means that when I go to view my page(bed) I don't see what's in my boxes because they are under my bed! Are you speaking in layers? Is my site(bed) behind a firewall or password protected . . . :)Sorry, I couldn't resist. It is, really, a great analogy. I think it accurately illustrates how things "should" be done.

i was just wondering if its possible to have a div inside another div

[Jonas]

Yeah, that would be possible, just like you can have a smaller shoebox inside one of your larger shoeboxes...

Not unless you want to start WWIII! -Just kidding! ( I couldn't resist)Just as Jonas said, of course you can. Also check out the use of span classes. You can use them inside of a div also.
