HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements. They are used to modify the behavior or appearance of an element. Attributes are specified within the opening tag of an element and consist of a name and a value, separated by an equals sign. Common attributes include “class” for defining CSS styles, “id” for uniquely identifying an element, and “src” for specifying the source of an image or media file.
HTML attributes give additional information about the HTML elements and are always specified in the start tag. In our previous blog on HTML tags, we learned about different tags, such as paragraph tag
and image tag![]()
, in their simplest form. Now we will explore some of the HTML tags that can have attributes to give extra information.
Attributes are the properties that can be added to an HTML tag. These attributes change the way the tag behaves or is displayed. For example, a![]()
tag has an src attribute, which you use to add the source from which the image should be displayed.
We add attributes right after the name of the HTML tag, inside the brackets. We can only add the attributes to opening or self-closing tags, but never be in closing tags.
