An id is a unique identifier assigned to a single HTML element, used for specific styling and JavaScript interactions. In contrast, a div is a generic container used to group multiple elements for layout and styling purposes. While id is unique and applied to only one element, div can be used multiple times to structure content. In CSS, an id is targeted using #idName, whereas a div is usually styled using classes or directly. Additionally, id is commonly used for JavaScript element selection, while div serves as a structural component without inherent styling. |
