Define the term HTML? What are the diffrence between tags and attributes ?
HTML:- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language,which is a standard markup language to create web pages along with CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets) & JavaScript. It is use to create the layout of web pages, web applications and many more.
TAG :- HTML tags are the hidden keywords within a web page that define how the browser must format and display the content.
Most tags must have two parts, an opening and a closing part. For example, <html> is the opening tag and </html> is the closing tag. Note that the closing tag has the same text as the opening tag, but has an additional forward-slash ( / ) character. I tend to interperet this as the "end" or "close" character.
There are some tags that are an exception to this rule, and where a closing tag is not required. The <img> tag for showing images is one example of this.
Each HTML file must have the essential tags for it to be valid, so that web browsers can understand it and display it correctly.
The rest of the HTML file can contain as little or as many tags as you want to display your content.
ATTRIBUTES:-
Attributes allow you to customise a tag, and are defined within the opening tag, for example:
<img src="image1.jpg">
or <p align="center"> ... </p>
Attributes are often assigned a value using the equals sign, such as
border="0"
or width="50%"
, but there are some that only need to be declared in the tag like this: <hr noshade>
.Most attributes are optional for most tags, and are only used when you want to change something about the default way a tag is displayed by the browser. However, some tags such as the
<img>
tag has required attributes such as src
and alt
which are needed in order for the browser to display the web page properly.
