HTML Attributes

HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.

HTML Attributes
• All HTML elements can have attributes
• Attributes provide additional information about elements
• 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:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<h2>The href Attribute</h2>

<p>HTML links are defined with the a tag. The link address is specified in the href
attribute:</p>

<a href="https://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools</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:

<img src="img_girl.jpg">

There are two ways to specify the URL in the src attribute:
1. Absolute URL - Links to an external image that is hosted on another
website. Example: src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/img_girl.jpg".

Notes: External images might be under copyright. If you do not get


permission to use it, you may be in violation of copyright laws. In addition,
you cannot control external images; it can suddenly be removed or changed.

2. Relative URL - Links to an image that is hosted within the website. Here,
the URL does not include the domain name. If the URL begins without a
slash, it will be relative to the current page. Example: src="img_girl.jpg". If
the URL begins with a slash, it will be relative to the domain. Example:
src="/images/img_girl.jpg".

The width and height Attributes


The <img> tag should also contain the width and height attributes, which
specifies the width and height of the image (in pixels):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>The alt Attribute</h2>
<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>
<img src="img_girl.jpg" alt="Girl with a jacket" width="500"
height="600">
</body>
</html>

The alt Attribute


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.

<img src="img_girl.jpg" alt="Girl with a jacket">

<p style="color:red;">This is a red paragraph.</p>


The lang Attribute
You should always include the lang attribute inside the <html> tag, to declare
the language of the Web page. This is meant to assist search engines and
browsers.

The following example specifies English as the language:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

The title Attribute


The title attribute defines some extra information about an element.

The value of the title attribute will be displayed as a tooltip when you mouse
over the element:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2 title="I'm a header">The title Attribute</h2>
<p title="I'm a tooltip">Mouse over this paragraph, to display the
title attribute as a tooltip.</p>
</body>
</html>
