Attributes In HTML General Info

HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements. They are specified inside the opening tag of an HTML element and consist of a name and a value, separated by an equals (=) sign.

For example, the src attribute of an img element is used to specify the source (i.e., the URL) of the image to be displayed on a web page. This can be written as:

<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg">

Here, src is the attribute name, and https://example.com/image.jpg is the value of the attribute.

Some attributes can be used on any HTML element, while others are specific to certain elements. For example, the class attribute is used to specify one or more class names for an HTML element, which can be used to style the element with CSS. The id attribute is used to specify a unique identifier for an HTML element, which can be used to target the element with CSS or JavaScript.

Some attributes are used to specify the behavior of an HTML element. For example, the disabled attribute can be used on input elements to make them unclickable and uneditable. The href attribute can be used on a (anchor) elements to specify the destination URL of a hyperlink.

In general, attributes provide additional information about HTML elements that can be used by the browser to render the page properly and by developers to create interactive and dynamic websites.
