What’s the HTML tag class means, is it different from div?

The <class> tag does not exist in HTML. In HTML, class is an attribute, not a tag. It is used within elements (like <div>, <span>, <p>, etc.) to assign a class name to that element. This class name can then be used to style the element via CSS or to target it with JavaScript.

For example:

<div class="container">Content goes here</div>

Here, class="container" is assigning the class "container" to the <div> element. You can then apply styles to that class in CSS:

.container {
  background-color: lightblue;
}

Difference between <class> and <div>:

• <div>: This is a block-level element used for grouping content or creating sections in a webpage. It is a container element, often used to structure or layout a page.

  Example:

  <div>Content inside a div</div>
  

• class: This is an attribute that can be added to any HTML tag (including <div>) to assign a class name for styling or scripting purposes. It is not a tag itself.

  Example:

  <div class="myClass">Content inside a div with a class</div>
  

So, <div> is an actual HTML tag, whereas class is an attribute used with various tags to apply styles or target elements in JavaScript.
