Div Expand Equally in Design

Using Div Tags for Layouts

The div tag is like a box you can use to organize parts of your webpage. It helps divide your page into sections, such as columns or rows, and style them individually. Think of it as laying out furniture in a room—you decide where each piece goes to make the room functional and attractive.

Imagine you want to create a webpage with two columns. Here’s the basic structure:

htmlCopy code<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>

You can style these using CSS to split them into two equal parts:

cssCopy code#div1 {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
}

#div2 {
  margin-left: 50%;
  width: 50%;
}

If you want these columns to fit neatly within a larger box (called a container), you can wrap them in another div like this:

htmlCopy code<div id="container">
  <div id="div1"></div>
  <div id="div2"></div>
</div>

Add some styles to the container for a better layout. For example, you can include a background image:

cssCopy code#container {
  background: url('background-image.gif') repeat-y;
}

#div1 {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
}

#div2 {
  margin-left: 50%;
  width: 50%;
}
