The division "<div>" tag is used to devide a page into sections. Divisions are usualley used togetter with other block-level elements, instead of tables. This efficiently reduce the filesize, and makes it easier to update pages.

Example:

Note: There is an example of a 3-column layout, using a single division, and ordered lists instead of tables. See: Using Block Elements and Divisions Instead of Tables.

<body>
    <div id="Basement">
    </div>
</body>

Divisions goes in the Body section as seen above.

The above division, has a unique ID, which we may refer to in the CSS. Use classes for recurring divisions.
