Hi,
its a general discussion i want to know which way of writing the div is good for designing a web form.

for eg
1)

XML

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" BorderColor="AliceBlue" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
      <div>
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" BorderColor="AliceBlue" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </div>
    </form>

</body>
</html>

in the above code we don't have parent div tag we are having two div tag.

2nd eg

XML

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <div>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
        </div>
     <div>
      <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" />

     </div>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

in the above example we are having a parent div and inside that there are two DIV

so i want to know which one is better in designing a form or both are same it dosent effect any thing such as zoom in or zoom out , minimize and maximize of screen.

In my view, since both render same design on the browser screen, you can use any one. But still, i would go with the second one - the one with parent div tag because while we were in pre-div era, using tables for page structure, we used to have a td on the p tag, and have a tr on the td tag and obviously, a table on the tr tag.

So what i am trying to say is if i were you, i would go for a design that has parent tags for each of the child tag and i would not leave any div tag hanging in the garden without any support/parent tag.

This helps in adding any more tag in future as an when needed, without much design coding alterations.

Thanks
