HTML Attributes
[this page | pdf | back links]
Different HTML elements can have
attributes that specify how they should be formatted or interpreted or allow
further characterisation of the element. Attributes come in two basic types:
(a) Standard attributes,
which describe or characterise the element further, and
(b) Event attributes, almost
all of which begin with on….
These indicate what scripts should be run if an event occurs (e.g. the
mouse button is clicked, an element is dragged, dropped or copied, etc.)
HTML attributes can also be set programmatically using
JavaScript by modifying the properties of the corresponding HTML DOM elements.
Listed here
are the JavaScript DOM properties that correspond to most of the HTML attributes
recognised in HTML 5.
