HTML Attributes
|
|
Attributes in HTML serve to amplify tags. HTML attributes are applicable to most HTML elements & function to provide additional information about the element. In simpler terms, these attributes provide a scope to make additional settings in the style or characteristic of the element like, change their background color, width & make other desirable changes.
The HTML tags can contain one or more attributes. These attributes are added to the different tags primarily to provide additional information to the browser about the way a particular tag should appear or behave. Attributes are specified on the start tag & appear as a name/value pair separated by an equals (=) sign. |

|
| |
| Eg : <body style="background-color:red">
|
| |
Addition of this particular attribute sends a message to the browser to style the body element with background color red.
An important factor to remember while specifying attributes is to always enclose the attribute values in quotes, either the double style or single style quotes. Just in case the attribute value itself contains double quotes, one is required to use single quotes.

| Eg : Name='Shawn "Badman" Fredo'
|
| |
Although the attribute names & values are not case sensitive, it is advisable to use them in lowercase, in accordance to the newer HTML versions.
