div is just the word to declare a div
there are two types
id and
class
id is meant to be used for only one object on the page while classes are for multiple.
so if you wanted to have a div, it would be
div#mydiv or more commonly (and easier) used #mydiv
notes: use
#divIDname for ID's and
.divCLASSname for CLASSes
you can use width and height tags in css too!
---- example
code:
#mydiv {background:url(images/base/base.jpg); border:5px dotted white; width:400px; height:400px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<br><br><p class="header">MEthos2 Home::
<br>MEthos has awoken<br></p>
<div id="mydiv">
<p>Hi guys, this is my new design for the site.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
