HTML Attributes

  • Attributes are always specified in the start tag
  • Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

The href Attribute

The <a> tag defines a hyperlink. The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to:

<a href="https://www.shop.com">visit our shop</a>


<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<a href="https://mundherohan.blogspot.com/">Visit My Website</a>


</body>

</html>

 


The src Attribute

The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page. The src attribute specifies the path to the image to be displayed:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>


<h2>The src Attribute</h2>

<p>HTML images are defined with the img tag, and the filename of the image source is specified in the src attribute:</p>

The required alt attribute for the <img> tag specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image for some reason cannot be displayed. This can be due to slow connection, or an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<p>The alt attribute should reflect the image content, so users who cannot see the image gets an understanding of what the image contains:</p>

Elements of the html

  HTML Elements The HTML  element  is everything from the start tag to the end tag: < tagname > Content goes here... < /tagname > Examples of some HTML elements: < h1 > My First Heading < /h1 > < p > My first paragraph. < /p > Nested HTML Elements HTML elements can be nested (this means that elements can contain other elements). All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements. The following example contains four HTML elements ( <html> ,  <body> ,  <h1>  and  <p> ): <html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>   The   <body>   element defines the document's body. It has a start tag  <body>  and an end tag  </body> . Then, inside the  <body>  element there are two other elements:  <h1>  and  <p> : < h1 > My First Heading < /h1 > < p > My first paragraph. < /p > The  <h1>  

Html Basic

  HTML Documents All HTML documents must start with a document type declaration:  <!DOCTYPE html> . The HTML document itself begins with  <html>  and ends with  </html> . The visible part of the HTML document is between  <body>  and  </body> . Example <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>   The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration The  <!DOCTYPE>  declaration represents the document type, and helps browsers to display web pages correctly. It must only appear once, at the top of the page (before any HTML tags). The  <!DOCTYPE>  declaration is not case sensitive. The  <!DOCTYPE>  declaration for HTML5 is: <!DOCTYPE html> HTML Headings HTML headings are defined with the  <h1>  to  <h6>  tags. <h1>  defines the most important heading.  <h6>  defines the least important heading:  <!DOCTYPE html> <htm
