you are correct.

#gotosg is a div which (as you have seen) contains a <p>. like so...

<div id="gotosg"><p>here the text</p></div>

i was assuming it worked like <td valign="bottom"> would. i guess not. i
*think* i understand what the link (that you referred to) is saying, but
could you explain again, maybe with an example? (if you have the time
and feel the desire of course. ;) )
