By default, divs are block elements. So reiterating it in CSS does nothing, unless you change the divs display to none, at which point setting it back to block will make a difference. All elements have a display value, where a span is inline, meaning it will stay in line with its other elements, as opposed to a div which is a block, meaning it takes up its own line.
