<<<<HTML Attributes>>>>
HTML elements
can have
attributes
Attributes
provide
additional
information
about an
element
Attributes are
always specified
in the start tag
Attributes come
in name/value
pairs like:
name="value"
<img src="w3schools.jpg"
width="104" height="142">
The image size is specified in
pixels: width="104" means 104
screen pixels wide.
Examp
le
<<<<Size Attributes>>>
The value
of the
attribute
can be
read by
"screen
readers".
This way,
someone
"listening"
to the
webpage,
i.e. a blind
person,
can "hear"
the
element.
Example
<img
src="w3sch
ools.jpg"
alt="W3Sch
ools.com"
width="104
"
height="14
2">
The title
attribut
e can be
written
with
upper or
lower
case
like Title
and/or
TITLE
The
HTML5
standard
does not
require
quotes
around
attribute
values.

attribute,
demonstr
a-ted
above,
can be
written
<a
href=ht
tp://ww
