Junior JavaScript

What is the difference between <div> and <span>?

  • <div> is a block-level element (creates a full-width container).
  • <span> is an inline element (used for styling small text portions).

Example:

<div>Block Section</div>

<p>This is a <span style="color: red;">red word</span> in a

sentence.</p>

Key Takeaway:

Use <div> for layout; <span> for inline styling.
