HTML Sections: <DIV>

DIV is similar to P, but acts on a section of text and/or objects, and so may have other elements embedded within it. It has a single attribute, ALIGN, which may take the values LEFT, RIGHT or CENTER. DIV with ALIGN=CENTER is equivalent to the CENTER tag.

Right aligned section of text.

The Tuolumne River, California
The Chattooga River, Georgia

Center aligned section of text.

The Rogue River, Oregon
The Illinois River, Oregon

Left aligned section of text.

The Middle Fork of the Salmon, Idaho
The Selway River, Idaho

Now we use <DIV ALIGN=CENTER> to center a table, heading and image:

The DIV tag with the ALIGN=CENTER attribute provides an alternate method of centering text and objects that is more in keeping with the original HTML design methodolgy. However, DIV is a fairly new tag, and CENTER still is probably more widely supported.
