What do you think about the section element in html5, where should it be used and how do you inteprete what the specs say to your own understanding. |

HTML 5's SECTION TAG is synonymous with HTML 4's DIV tag. The only difference is that SECTION is more semantic. Beware though - not all browsers support this, granted you can use these news tags in a progressive enhancement/graceful degradation kind of way. |

Big big grammar. |

I really do not agree that they are synonymous, according to the spec. It was stated that section should not be seen as a substitute for the div tag and that the div tag should still be used. Also why don't you check out multicolumns... |

^^^ It was stated that section should not be seen as a substitute for the div tag and that the div tag should still be used.1) Hmm, where in my original response did I say this? Obviously, both have their uses and places to use. Both are also not to be substituted for the other. Look at what I wrote again. Maybe I wasn't clear. I will try again. Sorry about that: A DIV divides a page into sections, though it isn't a SECTION tag. In other words, just like TABLE tags were used for layout, until DIV came along, so has DIV been used to cut up a page into sections, until SECTION came along. Can a DIV be used to do what a SECTION tag can do? Sure! But does that mean you should use it? No! 2) Why do I have to check out multicolumns? I already know what it is for and love that it can be done, albeit on certain browsers for now. 3) With so many smart people out there, I don't need to waste my time reading the specs. I just need to find a good book written by one of the smart ones and I am good to go  1 Like |

<SECTION> TAG in html5 specify a section in the webpage. So when you use a section element you are telling the browser that this is a section, and also NOTE that a section should have a heading. E.g: <section><header><h3></h3></header><!--Followed by the section body</section> There is a browser plugin called HTML5 outliner that is used to see how your webpage is outlined. I use this plugin installed in chrome. |
