HTML Attributes

 

    HTML elements can have attributes

    Attributes provide additional information about an element

    Attributes are always specified in the start tag

    Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

 

Attribute Example

 

HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute:

<a href="http://www.mrhotfire.com">This is a link</a>

Always Quote Attribute Values

 

Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes.

 

Double style quotes are the most common, but single style quotes are also allowed.

 

RemarkTip: In some rare situations, when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes: name='John "ShotGun" Nelson'

HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Attributes

 

Attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive.

 

 

Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand lowercase attributes.
