I am trying to make a div tag that surrounds everything but the <p>

  • 0

I am trying to make a div tag that surrounds everything but the <p> tags. Is there any way to exclude a certain or certain tags? Thanks for the help.

My code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"    
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />

<body>

<div id='main'>

All that I am attempting to do is to avoid having to have multiple div tags breaking at every p tag and start again after it.

    I really do not understand what you mean, but I can try:

    You can give your <p> tags their own classes and/or id’s. you can make a class/id for it in your css and that way they will ignore the css given to your div. (I hope this is what you mean)

    so you get:

    <p class="yourclass">text</p>

    You can even give them a different background color. If you don’t want to have them in your div, simply place them outside of it. There is not much benefit to it though…

    If you mean you want to end the div with every one, that’s what you have to do though. No way around it.
