</div> before the </header> tag?

Why would you put it before and not after the </header>?

I am even getting a red error highlight when I do what he did in the video.

Nested tags must not overlap, so an element that starts inside another element must be closed before the outer element is closed. The ordering of the start tags determines the order of the end tags, which much be the reverse of the starting order.

Yes, for some reason I was not getting that...even though I learned that along time ago. It just seemed odd to me because he was trying to use a container to "contain" all of the tags, but the tags must be in reverse.
