The "DIVision" element is used to group related texts together. The HTML 4.0 specification presents a database record delineated by <div>. This is easily accomplished with a report writer from a database. By modifying the text defined by <div> by specifying a "class=" or "id=" attribute the text can be easily modified using a stylesheet,
The specification states that <div> will place a

"The ALIGN attribute can be used to explicitly specify the horizontal alignment of paragraphs within a division:" (w3) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

"left"

Example <div align="left"> <p>"Paragraphs are rendered flush left (the default)." </div> "Paragraphs are rendered flush left (the default)." Note: the <p> tag is inside the <div> structure. (w3) This is the default for WebTV. |

<div align="center"><p>"Paragraphs are centered."</div>
"Paragraphs are centered." (w3)

<div align="right"><p>"Paragraphs are rendered flush right."</div>

"justify"

<div align="justify"><p>"Text lines are justified where practical, otherwise this gives the same effect as the default align=left setting..."</div>
"Text lines are justified where practical, otherwise this gives the same effect as the default align=left setting. I can meander along for hours in an attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of this tag. It is the controller of all typesetting-like function that a page designer might wish to use. Remember that we read best when large volumes of text are justified. However, browser justification may not be "perfect", depending on your browser."
