HTML Attributes

HTML attributes provide additional information about elements within an HTML document. Every HTML element can have attributes. Attributes are always defined in the start tag. They are specified using a name/value pair format, where the attribute name defines the property, and its value provides specific details, like name=”value”. These attributes impact content display and interaction on web pages.
