I made 3 divs in the following codes. The first has a navigation element, the other has a section element.
If you run the above code, you will see the nav border and both sections. I doubt that the border of the 1st section remained; the element should be to the right of the border of the navigation bar. But since this does not exist (you can see it by running the code), this implies the div "a" and "b" overlap. Am i thinking right? And if I am right, why is CSS designed to overlap divs.
This actually contradicts the reason for introducing div into CSS.
nav {
float: left;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
section {
border: 3px solid red;
}
<div class="a">
<nav>
<span>nav</span>
<ul>
<li><a target="_blank" href="/default.asp">Home</a>
</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="default.asp">CSS</a>
</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="/html/default.asp">HTML</a>
</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="/js/default.asp">JavaScript</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
<div class="b">
<section>
<span>section</span>
<p>Notice we have put a clearfix on the div container. It is not needed in this example, but it would be if the nav element was longer than the non-floated section content.</p>
</section>
</div>
<div class="c">
