HTML Attributes

The lang Attribute
The document language can be declared in the <html> tag.The language is declared in the lang attribute.
Declaring a language is important for accessibility applications (screen readers) and search engines:
Example
<!DOCTYPEhtml>
<html lang="en-US">
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
The title Attribute
HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.In this example, the <p> element has a title attribute. The value of the attribute is "About hacktech4all":
The href Attribute
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute:Example
<a href="http://www.hacktech4all.blogspot.in">This is a link</a>
Size Attributes
HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.The filename of the source (src), and the size of the image (width and height) are all provided asattributes:
Example
<img src="hacktech4all.jpg" width="104" height="142">
The alt Attribute
The alt attribute specifies an alternative text to be used, when an HTML element cannot be displayed.The value of the attribute can be read by "screen readers". This way, someone "listening" to the webpage, i.e. a blind person, can "hear" the element.
Example
<img src="hacktech4all.jpg" alt="hacktech4all.blogspot.in" width="104" height="142">
Single or Double Quotes?
Double style quotes are the most common in HTML, but single style can also be used.In some situations, when the attribute value itself contains double quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes:
Example
<p title='John "ShotGun" Nelson'>
Or vice versa:
Example
<
