- 1. HTML Attributes Every tag can contain attributes Attributes are used to provide additional information about HTML elements.

- 2. Attribute values can be specified in single quotes or double quotes Attribute names and attribute values are case insensitive but preferable is lower case letter according to world wide web consortium(w3c) which recommends but not rule. But newer versions of xhtml will demand lower case attributes. http://improvejava.blogspot.in
- 3. Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value" Attribute Example HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute: Example <a href="http://improvejava.blogspot.in">This is a link</a> http://improvejava.blogspot.in
- 4. Always Quote Attribute Values Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes. Double style quotes are the most common, but single style quotes are also allowed. Tip: In some rare situations, when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes: name='John "ShotGun" Nelson' HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Attributes Attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive. However, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase attributes/attribute values in their HTML 4 recommendation. Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand lowercase attributes. http://improvejava.blogspot.in
