Div vs Container

Ask us anything

As far as I can tell, a Container and a Div are identical.

  1. Are they?
  2. Why have both?

Thanks!

Hey @mneary,
they are using the same element, it’s just the default configuration which is different (div are 100% width by default).

This seems to be incorrect or has changed. A container is 100% width and 940px max-width by default:

A div has no sizing properties.
