Why you want change it and what issue with this code

ravi9510 · 08-01-2011, 02:19 PM

instead of using paragraphs and list ...can we use only div tag...
whether is it possible

VIPStephan · 08-01-2011, 03:14 PM

Of course it’s possible but it’s not semantic.

Good reads:

actually we are using div tag instead of paragraphs or for some other purpose.....can u give me one example...what is the use of div tag......

the <div> tag has become more of a structural part of the page. it's a "divison" of the page. you have a header, a content, a column in that content. essentially these are all defined as divisions.

however, it can also be used if something is neither a paragraph or a heading (h1, h2..)

Unless it’s a list where list items are semantically the only right choice.
