Basic HTML Tutorial #5 - 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 "angled bracket"a"angled bracket"a tag defines a hyperlink. The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to.
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.
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_...".
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".
Tip: It is almost always best to use relative URLs. They will not break if you change domain.
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):
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.
The style Attribute
The style attribute is used to add styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more.
