Change Widget Markup

[Gandt]

Once I activate the html5 structure for my theme, my widgets get a structure that has <section> as one of the core parent elements.
I have seen tutorials on how to change an h4 in a widget to an h3, but never something for the actual structure elements that make up the widget itself:

<section id="text-7" class="widget widget_text">
	<div class="widget-wrap">
		<h4 class="widget-title widgettitle">Test title</h4>
		<div class="textwidget">test text</div>
	</div>
</section>

I have found the source to pretty much all the markup in any genesis-made page except for this widget bit.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. I simply want to change 'section' for 'div'.

Assuming you want to switch <section> for <div> in the whole sidebar, something like this should work:

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
  register_sidebar( array(
    'before_widget' => '<div class="widget widget_text">',
    'after_widget' => '</div>',
  ) );
}

If you do this it will not output your widget ID: id="text-7".
