HTML / CSS / JavaScript Tutorial

HTML Element: <body>

[this page | pdf | back links]

The HTML <body> element identifies the body of the document and contains all the visible contents of the document, such as text, hyperlinks, tables and images etc.

 

The attributes it can take are HTML global attributes and HTML event attributes.

 

It used to support the alink, background, bgcolor, link, text and vlink attributes, but these are no longer supported in HTML 5.

 

To create or access such an element in JavaScript see here. The corresponding HTML DOM object supports standard DOM properties and methods. The default style applicable to this element is shown here.
