Mention ID in While Closing div

Do we not mention the id while closing a div, in this case no </div id="wrapper"> Since Nick didn't do it here, do I assume that we cannot have a div within another div since he didn't specify which div he closed?

you dont add attributes to closing tags. so adding a div with an id called someId and closing the div would look like this:

<div id="someId">

</div>

i could have nested a div in it like so:

<div id="someId">

    <div class="someClass">

    </div>

</div>

what i personally do is put closing comments on my divs so you wont be confused if you have a lot of nested divs like so: html <div id="someId">

<div class="someClass">

</div><!-- someClass closing -->

</div><!-- someId closing -->
