Where can I learn all about div and span attributes?

[mgdpublic]

Whenever I see CSS tutorials, they invariably speak in terms of whole style sheets rather than just modifying a line or two. Is the <div> command considered html or CSS? How come sometimes it seems like you would say align="left" and sometimes "text-align: left;" ?

The division is generic (x)html: http://www.xhtmlcoder.com/xhtml.htm the "text-align: left;" is CSS.

<div> is a tag so it's HTML. It can have styles applied to it and those are CSS. align="left" is a presentation-related attribute of the tag, which I suspect is deprecated for the style rule, style="text-align:left".

So if i'm gonna learn one thing it should be syntax for styles?

Yes, learn CSS.
