Knowing HTML Attribute

Basically, HTML Attribute has a function for additional information for the element. They generally appear as a name-value pairs, separated by "=", and written in the start tag of an element, the element name. See the example below


We encourage you to write html attributes in lowercase. Because the W3C recommends it. And also, the value of the attribute must always be quoted. You can give him with double quotes or with single quotes. For this one is depending on your willingness.

Although it only serves for additional information on the element. However, its presence can affect an element. Therefore, the attribute has its own classification. See this classification

  • Required and optional. Example for this classified are <applet>, <area>, <body>, etc.
  • Standard. Example for this are <param>, <head>, <iframe>, etc.
  • Event. Example for this are <body>, <b>, <div>, etc.
