for anyone still having problems like these, I can personally vouch for a course I took on Udemy.

It's https://www.udemy.com/course/html-css-and-j...veloper-course/


is it free or do we have to pay for the course?

One is block level and one is inline.

We already talked about this. Use DIV to group things together or when no other block level element fits.

SPAN is similar to DIV in that it lacks features in itself, but it's inline (text level). If you want a word to stand out because it's important, you'd probably use EM and style it to your heart's content.

CODE
This is <em>important</em>.


But if you want to make all words have different colors because you think it looks pretty (just a dumb example), you don't want to use a meaningful element, but you still need something to apply CSS to, so SPAN is your choice.

CODE
<span>Nothing</span> <span>here</span> <span>is</span> <span>of</span> <span>importance</span>.


In the first example important will stand out even without CSS. The browser may make it bold or italic. In the second example all the words will look the same without CSS. SPAN doesn't carry any meaning.

HTML 5 offers new elements that can be used instead of DIV in many cases. But lets pretend they don't exist.

A typical use of DIV in a HTML 4.01 page could look like this.

CODE
<div id="header">...</div>

<div id="topnav">...</div>

<div id="sidebar">...</div>

<div id="main">...</div>

<div id="footer">...</div>
