I always find leaving the markup in its native language is beneficial, except in cases where cake's pathing becomes an issue (image, anchors etc)...
I'd go and write <div>foo</div> personally, but thats just me. however, from the documentation: HtmlHelper::div(*string $class*, *string $text*, *array $options*) Parameters: - *$class* (*string*) – The classname for the div. - *$text* (*string*) – The content inside the div. - *$options* (*array*) – An array of *html attributes*<http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/appendices/glossary.html#term-html-attributes> . Used for creating div-wrapped sections of markup. The first parameter specifies a CSS class, and the second is used to supply the text to be wrapped by div tags. If the last parameter has been set to true, $text will be printed HTML-escaped. If no text is specified, only an opening div tag is returned.: <?phpecho $this->Html->div('error', 'Please enter your credit card number.'); // Output<div class="error">Please enter your credit card number.</div> i.e. its going to wrap it up in a closing div for you....but you need to pass a class to it as the first parameter... $this->Html->div('someClass', 'foo'); should do the trick.
