Structure of DIV css
Are you learning CSS layout? Are you still unable to fully master pure CSS layout? There are usually two situations that hinder your learning:
The first possibility is that you have not yet understood the principles of CSS processing pages. Before you consider the overall performance of your page, you should first consider the semantics and structure of the content, and then add CSS for the semantics and structure. This article will tell you how to structure HTML.
Another reason is that you are at a loss for those very familiar presentation layer attributes (such as cellpadding, hspace, align="left", etc.) and don't know what CSS statement to convert them into. Once you have solved the first problem and know how to structure your HTML, I will give you a list detailing what CSS to use to replace the original presentation attributes.
Structured HTML
When we first learn to make web pages, we always consider how to design them first, considering the pictures, fonts, colors, and layout plans. Then we use Photoshop or Fireworks to draw it and cut it into small pictures. Finally, edit the HTML to restore all the designs to the page.
If you want your HTML page to be laid out with CSS (it is CSS-friendly), you need to go back and start over. Don’t think about “appearance” first, but first think about the semantics and structure of your page content.
Appearance is not the most important thing. A well-structured HTML page can be presented in any appearance, and CSS Zen Garden is a classic example. CSS Zen Garden helps us finally realize the power of CSS.
HTML is not just for reading on a computer screen. Your carefully designed images in Photoshop may not be displayed on PDAs, mobile phones, and screen readers. But a well-structured HTML page can be displayed anywhere and on any network device through different definitions of CSS.
Start thinking
First of all, you need to learn what "structure" is. Some writers also call it "semantics". What this term means is that you need to analyze your content blocks and the purpose each piece of content serves, and then build the corresponding HTML structure based on these content purposes.
If you sit down and carefully analyze and plan your page structure, you might end up with a few pieces like this:
Logo and site name
Main page content
Site navigation (main menu)
Submenu
Search box
Functional area (such as shopping cart, checkout)
Footer (copyright and relevant legal notices)
We usually use DIV elements to define these structures, similar to this:
　＜div id="header"＞＜/div＞
　＜div id="content"＞＜/div＞
　＜div id="globalnav"＞＜/div＞
　＜div id="subnav"＞＜/div＞
　＜div id="search"＞＜/div＞
　＜div id="shop"＞＜/div＞
　＜div id="footer" ＞＜/div＞
　This is not a layout, but a structure. This is a semantic description of content blocks. When you understand your structure, you can add the corresponding ID to the DIV. Any content block can be contained within a DIV container, and another DIV can be nested within it. Content blocks can contain any HTML element---titles, paragraphs, images, tables, lists, etc.
Based on the above, you already know how to structure HTML, and now you can define layout and style. Each content block can be placed anywhere on the page, and the color, font, border, background, alignment properties, etc. of the block can be specified.
Using selectors is a wonderful thing
The name of the id is a means of controlling a certain content block. By surrounding this content block with a DIV and adding a unique id, you can use CSS selectors to precisely Define the appearance of each page element, including titles, lists, pictures, links or paragraphs, etc. For example, if you write a CSS rule for #header, it can be completely different from the image rule in #content.
Another example is: you can define link styles in different content blocks through different rules. Something like this: #globalnav a:link or #subnava:link or #content a:link. You can also define different styles for the same element in different content blocks. For example, define the style of p in #content and #footer through #content p and #footerp respectively. Structurally speaking, your page is composed of pictures, links, lists, paragraphs, etc. These elements themselves do not affect which network device they are displayed on (PDA, mobile phone or Internet TV). They can be defined as Any performance appearance.
A carefully structured HTML page is very simple, and every element is used for structural purposes. When you want to indent a paragraph, you don't need to use the blockquote tag. Just use the p tag and add a CSS margin rule to p to achieve the indentation purpose. p is a structured tag and margin is a presentation attribute. The former belongs to HTML and the latter belongs to CSS. (This is the separation of structure and expression.)
There are almost no tags expressing attributes in a well-structured HTML page. The code is very clean and concise. For example, the original code can now only write

in HTML, and all things that control the performance are written in CSS. Go, in structured HTML, a table is a table, not anything else (such as being used for layout and positioning).
Practice structuring yourself
What is mentioned above is only the most basic structure. In actual application, you can adjust the content blocks according to your needs. DIVs are often nested, and you will see that there are other layers in the "container" layer, with a structure similar to this:
　

　＜ul＞a list＜/ul＞
　＜/div＞
　＜div id="subnav"＞
　＜ul＞another list＜/ul＞
　＜/div＞
＜/div＞
Nested div elements allow you to define more CSS rules to control performance. For example: you can give #navcontainer a rule to center the list on the right, and then give #globalnav a rule to center the list on the left. Give #subnav's list a completely different look.
Replace traditional methods with CSS
The following list will help you replace traditional methods with CSS:
HTML attributes and corresponding CSS methods
HTML attributes
Description of CSS methods
align= "left"
　align="right" float: left;
float: right; Use CSS to float any element: pictures, paragraphs, divs, titles, tables, lists, etc.
When you use the float attribute , a width must be defined for this floating element.
　marginwidth="0"leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" margin: 0; Using CSS, margin can be set on any element, not just the body element, but more importantly, you can Specify the margin values ​​​​of the top, right, bottom and left elements respectively.
vlink="#333399" alink="#000000" link="#3333FF" a:link #3ff;
a:visited: #339;
a:hover: #999;
a:active: #00f;
In HTML, the color of the link is defined as an attribute value of the body. The link style is the same throughout the page. Using CSS selectors, link styles can be different in different parts of the page.
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background-color: #fff; In CSS, the background color can be defined for any element, not just body and table elements.
Bordercolor="#FFFFFF" border-color: #fff; Any element can set a border (boeder), you can define top, right, bottom and left respectively
border="3" cellspacing="3" border-width: 3px; Using CSS, you can define the border of the table to have a unified style, or you can define the color, size and style of the top, right, bottom and left borders respectively.
You can use table, td or th selectors.
If you need to set a borderless effect, you can use CSS definition: border-collapse: collapse;
＜br clear="left"＞
＜br clear="right"＞
＜br clear="all"＞
clear: left;
clear: right;
clear: both;
Many 2 or 3 columns Layouts are positioned using float attributes. If you define a background color or background image in the floating layer, you can use the clear attribute.
　cellpadding="3"
　vspace="3"
　hspace="3" padding: 3px; with CSS , any element can set the padding attribute. Similarly, padding can be set to top, right, bottom and left respectively. padding is transparent.
align="center" text-align: center;
margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;
Text-align only applies to text.
Blocks like div and p The level can be horizontally centered through margin-right: auto; and margin-left: auto;
Some regrettable techniques and working environment
Due to the imperfect browser support for CSS, we sometimes have to take Some techniques (hacks) or creating an environment (Workarounds) can allow CSS to achieve the same effect as traditional methods. For example, block-level elements sometimes need to use horizontal centering techniques, box model bug techniques, etc. All of these techniques are detailed in Molly Holzschlag’s article Integrated Web Design: Strategies for Long-Term CSS HackManagement.
Another great resource on CSS techniques is “Position is Everything” by Big John and Holly Bergevin.
Understanding floating behavior
Eric Meyer's "Containing Floats" will help you master how to use float attributes for layout. Float elements sometimes need to be cleared. Reading "How To Clear Floats Without Structural Markup" will be very helpful.
