HTML Attributes
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:
Example:
<a href="http://isalga.blogspot.com">Visit Isalga</a>
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:
Example:
<img src="img_girl.jpg">
The width and height Attributes
The <img>
tag should also contain the width
and height
attributes, which specify the width and height of the image (in pixels):
Example:
<img src="img_girl.jpg" width="500" height="600">
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 a slow connection, or an error in the src
attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader.
Example:
<img src="img_girl.jpg" alt="Girl with a jacket">
