HTML Attributes

An HTML attribute provides additional information about an HTML element. It is always specified in the start tag.

Syntax

<tagname attribute="value">content</tagname>

It is highly recommended to put quotes around attribute values!
We can use either single or double quotes.

Not all attributes need a value to be assigned to them. Some attributes are boolean attributes and do not need a value.

Example: <input type="checkbox" checked>
