Nested HTML Elements: How to Structure Your HTML Correctly
📝 What Are Nested HTML Elements?
Nested HTML elements are elements that are placed inside another HTML element. Nesting allows you to create structured, organized, and readable HTML.
Example:
<div>
<h2>Welcome to Faulink IT</h2>
<p>This is a paragraph inside a div.</p>
<ul>
<li>HTML</li>
<li>CSS</li>
<li>JavaScript</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div> is the parent element
<h2>, <p>, and <ul> are child elements
<li> elements are nested inside the <ul> list
🔹 Why Use Nested Elements?
Organization: Keeps related content together.
Styling: Apply CSS to parent elements to style children.
Accessibility: Helps screen readers understand structure.
Functionality: Makes JavaScript targeting easier.
🔹 Common Examples of Nested Elements
1. Paragraphs Inside a Div
<div class="intro">
<p>Learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.</p>
<p>Build real-world web projects and apps.</p>
</div>
2. Lists Inside a Section
<section>
<h3>Web Development Skills</h3>
<ul>
<li>HTML</li>
<li>CSS</li>
<li>JavaScript</li>
</ul>
</section>
3. Links and Images Nested

🔹 Rules for Nesting HTML
Always close child elements before the parent.
Avoid overlapping tags, e.g., <b><i>text</b></i> is invalid.
Keep semantic structure: headings inside sections, lists inside lists or sections, etc.
