ATTRIBUTES IN HTML

HTML Attributes:

HTML attributes are special modifier words placed inside an element's opening tag to provide additional information, configuration, or behavioral changes to that element. They essentially customize how a standard HTML element looks, functions, or interacts with the user.

The Structure of an Attribute

Attributes almost always arrive in name/value pairs and follow a strict structural syntax

• Attribute Name: Specifies the property you want to set (e.g., href, src, class).

• Attribute Value: Specifies the actual setting or instruction, which must be enclosed in quotation marks.

example:

<a href="https://www.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">Visit Wikipedia</a>
