HTMLatribuutteja

HTMLatribuutteja are special words inserted into the starting tag of an HTML element to control the element's behavior or provide additional information. They typically consist of a name and a value, enclosed in quotation marks. For example, in the tag `<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description">`, `src` and `alt` are attributes. The `src` attribute specifies the source file for the image, while the `alt` attribute provides alternative text for the image, which is important for accessibility and when the image cannot be displayed.

Attributes can modify the appearance, functionality, or semantics of HTML elements. Common attributes include `id` for uniquely identifying an element, `class` for applying CSS styles or JavaScript manipulation to a group of elements, and `href` for specifying the URL of a link in an anchor tag (`<a>`). Other attributes might define the language of the content (`lang`), the character encoding (`charset` in `<meta>` tags), or specify whether a checkbox or radio button is checked by default (`checked`).

Understanding and correctly using HTML attributes is fundamental to creating well-structured and functional web pages. They allow developers to customize and enhance the default behavior of HTML elements, making web content dynamic and interactive. Many attributes are global, meaning they can be used on almost any HTML element, while others are specific to certain tags.
