someone explain wrappers

I have seen several posts since on here concerning wrappers...never having come
across them I was wondering if someone could post what amounted to "the three
line idiots guide to wrappers" and clue me in? My DW Help files are playing up
so i can't use that to check.

A wrapper is a container. In HTML, the most common containers are <div>,
<table>, <p>. When someone recommends putting something in a wrapper, they
usually mean to wrap the 'something' in a <div>, e.g.,
<div>whatever content</div>.

Three lines.

I counted four. ;) Good description, though.

Bah - foiled by line wrap.

Does this mean I only get a 66% score?

No, we'll be generous and round it up to 67%.

Some things are worth suffering for. ;)

Well, page 1's pretty easy. Before you know it, you'll be on page 10.
Get caught in a few more traffic jams, and you'll have read the whole thing!

Thanks for buying. I hope it does what you expect of it.

Well, at least there's a picture on page 2 to distract you if all those
big words get too much for you. There's an even bigger picture on page
3. Pages 4, 5, and 6, though... Words, words, nothing but words...

Driving through a funeral, or past a graveyard?

I'll have you know that I showered very thoroughly this morning. Or is
it my aftershave that you're referring to?
