    In my quest to find out how to have a 'tab' based...bottom half of my page, much like this on page http://www.logicweb.com/ I have seen many people talking about somthing called a 'DIV', what is a 'DIV'.

    quote :Whats the best way to get a link to change the content of a div rather than have the link display a completely different page?

    Re: a DIV?

    A "div" is a container. It is HTML's way to separate the content. Actually it is a container for one or more objects, and is defined by its own "name" and its own "id".

    This allows you to do many things at once, in example apply CSS formatting to the totality of the objects contained in the div, or hide / show all these objects (using Javascript) by hidding / showing the div.

    As I said, a container for one or more HTML objects (text, images, tables, etc)

    From the practical point of view, this means that in the HTML code, the objects that belong to the div are preceded be an openin <div> tag and followed by a closing </div> tag. So the div becomes a "fench" that contains the objects within it. By using inline or external CSS you can assign visual properties to the entire area of this "fench".
