What is the proper name for separated areas of content – things which are usually separated via divs. For example, on this site, the sidebar, the main content area, the nav area, the header area.
I have been using ‘widget’ for areas in the content section of my pages, and I’m unsure whether this is accurately describing what I’m styling. Advice?
Technically speaking if you are seperating them by using
div‘s, then these would be “divisions” of your web page layout.http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_div.htm
Therefore I would refer to areas as things like “sidebar division”, “header division”, “footer division” etc.. This leaves less room for assumption as to which elements you are referring to.
