HTML Tags & Attributes

Author

Pascual Vila

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

If HTML tags are the nouns of a web page, attributes are the adjectives. They describe the element's behavior, appearance, and identity.

The Anatomy of a Tag

A standard HTML element consists of a start tag, content, and an end tag. Attributes are always placed in the start tag.

<tagname attribute="value"> Content </tagname>

Common Attributes

The class attribute specifies one or more classnames for an element (used by CSS and JavaScript). The id attribute specifies a unique id for an HTML element.
