Sizing up my div

I have decided that I want to make a few templates to better increase my knowlege on html and css. I am having a slight problem though, I can't properly size the div. I don't want to use a table because I have heard I shouldn't, and since its a template I just don't want to put text in to make it bigger. So how do I make it a size without using text or the pre tags?


Thanks,


Joe

just define its width and/or height on css:

width: 200px;
height: 60px;
