HTML Tutorial Part-3

HTML Attributes

    HTML elements can have attributes
    Attributes provide additional information about an element
    Attributes are always specified in the start tag
    Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

Attribute Example:

HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute:
<a href="http://www.webtutorial2.blogspot.com">This is a link</a>

Always Quote Attribute Values

Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes.
Double style quotes are the most common, but single style quotes are also allowed.

Tip: In some rare situations, when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes: name='John "ShotGun" Nelson'

HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Attributes

Attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive.
However, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase attributes/attribute values in their HTML 4 recommendation.

Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand lowercase attributes.
