# What are attributes in HTML5?

Attributes provide additional information about elements

Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

Example:--

1- The <a> tag defines a hyperlink. The href attribute.
2- The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page. The src attribute

1. Absolute URL - Links to an external image that is hosted on another website. Example: src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/img_girl.jpg".

2. Relative URL-- Links to an image that is hosted within the website.
Example: src="img_girl.jpg". If the URL begins with a slash, it will be relative to the domain. Example: src="/images/img_girl.jpg".

The four core attributes that can be used on the majority of HTML elements (although not all) are −

1- Id
2- Title
3- Class
4- Style
