A div is a generic block element. It is used when you have a need to mark up some content without mentioning any semantics (but you do want to add style, scripting, or whatnot). > One day, I has been told that this is bad, according to web standard > accessibility (or something like that) so I was told to do this: > <h1 id="title">My Title</h1> In this case, you have a heading, so the semantics you give to it should say that it is a heading. Failing to do so introduces problems for non-CSS browsers, search engine indexers, non-visual browsers, etc, etc. > Now I realise that using the later give me more problems.

CSS gives presentational hints. It does not absolutely control the way content is rendered. This is perfectly fine.
