HTML Attributes List
HTML attributes are special words used inside the opening tag to control the element’s behavior. HTML attributes are a modifier of an HTML element type. Attributes provide additional information about elements. Attributes are always specified in the start tag. Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like name=”value”. An attribute either modifies the default functionality of an element type or provides functionality to certain element types unable to function correctly without them. In HTML syntax, an attribute is added to an HTML start tag.
HTML attributes are used to describe the character of an HTML element in detail. HTML tag starts with < and ends with > Whatever is written within an HTML tag are HTML element. HTML attributes are found only in the starting tag.
