The HTML <style> tag is used for declaring
style sheets within your HTML document. The <style> tag is supported in all
major browsers. The required type attribute defines the content of the style
element. The only possible value is "text/css". The style element always goes
inside the head section.
let's look at an example. If you want
the color of some text to look red, the style attribute would look like this:
style="color:red"
The style sheet property is "color". The value
of the color is "red". Notice there is a colon in between color and red, not an
equal sign, and there are no extra quote marks.
Insert style into an HTML tag, such as the
<DIV> tag. Place a semicolon after your first property and value, and add
another. So if we want the text to be red and to be italic, we would do the
following:
<DIV style="color:red; font-style:italic">This
style for some red-hot italic text!</DIV>
Attributes
HTML tags can contain one or more attributes. Attributes are added to a tag to
provide the browser with more information about how the tag should appear or
behave.
There are 3 kinds of attributes that you can add to your
HTML tags: Element-specific, global, and event handler content attributes. The
attributes that you can add to this tag are listed below.
Element-Specific Attributes
