HTML Attributes

  • Attributes are the way authors have to define properties for an element. These properties usually change the way a browser interpret the element, by changing its meaning or presentation. For example, the <’a> element inserts a link in the document, but the rel attribute states the relationship between the current document (the one containing the link) and the destination resource (the one the link is pointing to).
  • Many of the attributes in HTML5, the ones known as global attributes, are available for all elements in the standard. But most elements have also a set of specific attributes that are only available or specifically adapted for them.
  • As we already saw in previous examples, attributes are declared by stating their name, followed by an equal sign (“=”) and the assigned value enclosed by quotes. But some attributes, which can only take boolean values (true or false), apply their value just with their presence. In these cases, attributes can be declared just by stating their name.
  • In the following example, the <’button> element has three attributes present: id and acceskey, which are global attributes, and disabled (boolean), which isn’t global but is shared by a particular group of element

All HTML elements can have attributes

  • The href attribute of <’a> specifies the URL of the page the link goes to
  • The src attribute of <’img> specifies the path to the image to be displayed
  • The width and height attributes of <’img> provide size information for images
  • The alt attribute of <’img> provides an alternate text for an image
  • The style attribute is used to add styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more
  • The lang attribute of the <’html> tag declares the language of > - the Web page
  • The title attribute defines some extra information about an element
