ZioCain27116y@RasBuckles it seems easy at first, like "oh yeah, I just use P for paragraphs and H1 for titles"
Then you discover lists, divs, tables and everything -
Horkrine1906yYeah it's easy to look at and often easy to work with. CSS and JS are going to be the parts where you start to struggle until you learn how stupid things can be
-
@norman70688 True, I made a chess program in HTML when I was in elementary school back in the 80s.
-
Confession:
I only use span and p, then just use css to do what could be done with a h1 or something.
Also i totally replaced lists with <span v-for> -
I cant find a direct answer, what does <div> even do? I can see its nothing visual
-
@RasBuckles HTML in general isn't visual. A div is just a meaningless container, either for wiggling with the object hierarchy and for layout. Or for combining both to work around some CSS flaws like in responsive images.
-
@RasBuckles A container, a box: A group of elements. With CSS you can style them (e.g. put the group to the right part of the screen, the other group is on the top for navigation, etc.).
-
@RasBuckles a text editor. You reference your css and js in your html, and it magically shows up

@R1100 “this message is rude and offensive and will deleted by the winey babies that value users more than people. Please be advised.” Haha. But you are correct!

@sheriffderek I am keeping because I dont know enough about programming language to battle it
-
@RasBuckles a div is a generic ‘div’ider element. It is display: block, so - much like a paragraph tag - but with no explicit semantic meaning. You would use them for layout things - and only really when there isn’t a correct element / such as a header or article.
-
@hell Without great markup - your css is going to be hellish. It’s a team effort.

@sheriffderek thank you, I all this is new, and another question, is Kali Linux good for beginner devs?
-
devTea240886yIt’s hard only if you write it per w3 standard, otherwise everything you throw at it works
-
@RasBuckles if it had a name... it’s probably not good for beginners. But it depends what you are trying to learn. Read the MDN docs for html and css - and try watchandcode for JavaScript. (If you want to learn how to build websites)
-
@sheriffderek thank you, and I'm teaching myself and trying g to learn from others as well, I want a challenge and if I can get this down I wanna make a career out of it.. so I'm pushing myself todo something I have very little knowledge about in order to make myself better at it

@RasBuckles and to check whether your stuff is standard conforming: https://validator.w3.org/
To be honest, HTML seems easier than it looks, but as a noob, I know I'm wrong in one way or another
