Is wrapping a div inside an anchor tag valid code?
Yes, according to HTML5 Specifications, we can place a div inside an anchor tag, for example −
<a href="#" target="_blank"> <div class="demo"></div> </a>
Another example −
<a href= www.tutorialspoint.com> <div> this now becomes a link </div> </a>
The HTML5 allows <a> tag to be wrapped around a <div> element. Therefore, the <div> will be visible inside the <anchor> tag.
Example
Let us see an example for div inside the <anchor> tag −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container {
position: relative;
background-color: orange;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
.container a {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 999;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Demo Heading</h1>
<div class="container">
<div class="div__one">
div one
</div>
<div class="div__two">
div two
</div>
<a href="https://tutorialspoint.com"></a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
