The HTML id attribute is used to allocate a unique identifier to an element to single out that element for application of CSS and JavaScript on it. No two elements can have the same id in a single HTML page. Id’s start with an octothorpe (#).
NOTE − As of HTML5 id’s starting with a number are allowed to be specified.
Let’s see an example for id attribute −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>MouseEvent clientX</title>
<style>
* {
padding: 2px;
margin:5px;
}
form {
width:70%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
#outer {
width:70%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
border:1px solid black;
height: 105px;
background-color: #28a745;
}
input[type="button"] {
border-radius: 10px;
}
#upper {
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
height: 40px;
margin: 0 0 15px 0;
background-color: #DC3545;
}
#lower {
border-top: 1px solid black;
height: 40px;
margin: 15px 0 0 0;
background-color: #DC3545;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>MouseEvent-clientX</legend>
<div id="outer">
<div id="upper"><h2>Danger</h2></div>
<div id="lower"><h2>Danger</h2></div>
</div>
<input type="button" id="start" value="Start" onclick="gameStart()">
<div id="divDisplay"></div>
</fieldset>
</form>
<script>
var divDisplay = document.getElementById('divDisplay');
var gameDisplay = document.getElementById('outer');
function playGame(event) {
var x = event.clientX;
var y = event.clientY;
if(y > 95 && y < 110){
divDisplay.textContent = 'Keep Going!';
if(x === 439){
divDisplay.textContent = 'Congrats! You Did it!';
gameDisplay.removeEventListener('mousemove', playGame);
}
} else {
divDisplay.textContent = 'You moved to DANGER area. You loose!';
gameDisplay.removeEventListener('mousemove', playGame);
}
}
function gameStart(){
gameDisplay.addEventListener('mousemove',playGame);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>This will produce the following output −
1) After clicking ‘Start’ button and cursor in green (safe) area −
2) After clicking ‘Start’ button and cursor at end of green (safe) area −
3) After clicking ‘Start’ button and cursor in red (danger) area −
