When to use CSS Div vs CSS Span?

Can you please let me know when is it better to use CSS divs rather than CSS spans?



phpdreams 		A div is a block-level tag where a span is an inline tag. Essentially, a div would be a section of HTML with a newline both before and after it. Where a span would just cover a portion of a line of text just as em, I, or strong would.

Now, that said, you *can* alter the functionality of each via CSS, but that's a bit beside the point.
