An HTML element is an individual component of an HTML document. HTML documents are composed of a tree of HTML elements and other nodes, such as text nodes. Each element can have attributes specified. Elements can also have content, including other elements and text. HTML elements represent semantics, or meaning. For example, the title element represents the title of the document.

In the HTML syntax, most elements are written with a start tag and an end tag, with the content in between. Tags are composed of the name of the element, surrounded by angle brackets. An end tag also has a slash after the opening angle bracket, to distinguish it from the start tag. For example, a paragraph, which is represented by the p element, would be written as

<p>In the HTML syntax, most elements are written ...</p>

However, not all of these elements require the end tag, or even the start tag, to be present. Some elements, the so-called void elements don't have an end tag. A typical example is the br element, which represents a significant line break, such as in a poem or an address. For example, the address of the dentist in Finding Nemo would be written as

<p>P. Sherman<br>42 Wallaby Way<br>Sydney</p>

Attributes are specified on the start tag. For example, the abbr element, which represents an abbreviation, expects a title attribute with its expansion. This would be written as

<abbr title="Hyper Text Markup Language">HTML</abbr>

How to dynamically position html element depending on screen specs?
Q. What would the javascript code be like?
Asked by Researcher of Knowledge - Wed Sep 19 12:55:24 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. JavaScript!? No No No! Use a CSS file to tell it that is should have a margin-left (or right, or top, or bottom, what ever takes your fancy) of x% So, if I have a

Q. how do i change the border of an html element using style and javascript?

A. Well, if you want to change the border of say... a paragraph tag (
) you would only need CSS. Not sure why you're asking about javascript unless you want to dynamically make this change based on a users action (ie. clicking, etc). In any case what you could do is add a style similar to this..
This would give you a solid black border. Substitute solid for dashed/dotted if you'd like. You can also choose any hex color code that you'd like. See sources below. You don't have to code this inline, you can also add the style to your stylesheet like so: p {border: 1px solid #000;} Tip: if the first three and the last three numbers/letters of your hex code are the same, you can use shorthand and just… [cont.]

Should HTML elements use id or name attributes?
Q. If I have many
elements, should I use name or id to differentiate them? I've heard the name attribute was just for form elements.
Asked by Jeremy B - Fri Dec 26 13:32:25 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The real question is do you have a need to differentiate them? IDs are helpful to get access to a specific control for styles or javascripting. Same with Names and Class values. If you don't have the need to access them directly, then you don't have the need to tag them with those attributes.
