I’m a newbie to CSS and am trying to learn how to efficiently use CSS. I was wondering when and how you use DIV and SPAN as it seems that they are used quite abit.

Thanks.

@ray326Mar 17.2004 — While I agree with Vladdy, the world ain't ideal so...

<div> is a generic block level element

<span> is a generic inline element

They are used for grouping, generally to apply certain styles to the things they contain.
