In HTML, an attribute part of an HTML element. Attributes may be optional or required, depending up on the element and its use.
Attributes are made up of two parts: name and value.
Examples
The a element requires an attribute named href, which specifies what the link is linking to.
The attribute looks like this:
href="value"
Where "value" is a URL, or a path to a resource.
In this example, the value of the attribute is a fully-qualified URL for Wikipedia:
<a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>
In this example, the value of the attribute is another web page on the same website.
<a href="../another-page.html">Another web page</a>
