DIV vs UL,LI performance

css, html, performance, web-applications

Solution

They're just tags. There's zero difference whatsoever between them DOM-wise; the only difference is in the rendering (CSS, which you can customize either way) and the meaning (semantics).

If you have a list of things, use a `<ul>`.

Problem

Is there any performance wise difference between DIV and UL html tag if we are designing a complex web page. Which one is lighter and loads faster in browser.If I can design using both div and li, then what should i choose?
