Most issues I have helped people with on forums are down to over use of DIV elements, and or, incorrect positioning methods... i.e. using margin or padding to position an element instead of "position". This isnt a post about hacks or bugs in regards to divs, its a post to highlight the fact that DIV's are not the only block element, and should not be used just for the sake of it. You would'nt wrap <em>div1</em> in <em>div2</em> so you could style <em>div1</em> would you.

I can't recall <em>any</em> browser bugs/hacks regarding DIVs. “I would say about 80% of cross browser problems is caused by over used DIV’s”
