How To Write Element Attributes Properly?

If an attribute is allowed for an XHTML element, you must write the attribute inside the opening tag of this element. Here are some rules on writing element attributes:

  • An attribute must have a name and a value, separated by the equal sign "=".
  • An attribute name must be written in lower case letter.
  • An attribute value must be enclosed in a pair of quotes.
  • Multiple attributes can be written in any order.
  • Some attributes must use predefined values.

Here are some good examples of element attributes:

  • <td colspan="2"> - One attributes: "colspan".
  • <input type="text" name="Phone"> - Two attributes: "type" and "name".
  • <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="_local.css"/> - Three attributes: "rel", "type" and "href".
