All HTML elements can have attributes. Attributes provide additional information about elements. Attributes are always specified in the start tag. Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: name=”value”.
<a>
tag defines a hyperlink. The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to.
<a href="https://www.monsterenergy.com">Visit Monster Energy</a>
<img>
tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page. The src attribute specifies the path to the image to be displayed.
<img src="crazy.jpg">
<img>
tag should also contain the width and height attributes, which specify the width and height of the image (in pixels).
<img src="crazy.jpg" width="500" height="600">
<img src="img_girl.jpg" alt="Girl with a jacket">
<html lang="en">
<p title="I'm a tooltip">This is a paragraph.</p>
