Overview of Tag Attributes
Tag attributes are used to control color, size, width, height,
and other HTML settings. If tag attributes are not specified,
default settings are used. Default settings are determined
by the browser and may differ by browser make and version.
Some browser default settings (text color, text size,
link color, and background color) can be altered
by the user. To ensure that all users see virtually the same
results, you can override user settings by setting tag attributes.
Attribute Examples:
| width="100" | color="blue" | size="+1" | color="#ffffff" |
| height="25" | align="left" | border="0" | alt="Index" |
All XHTML tags and attributes must be in lowercase, whereas HTML tags are not
case sensitive. To be both HTML and XHTML compliant, we will use
lowercase.
