HTML - Global style Attribute

HTML style attribute allows inline styling of an element by defining CSS properties directly within the HTML tag, affecting its appearance and presentation.

To ensure that your website is accessible and maintainable, use it wisely and consider best practices for separating content and presentation, although for minor styling adjustments, the style attribute can be used.

Syntax

<element style="style_definitions">

The style attribute accepts value in pair property and properties value. One or more properties and values separated by semicolons is acceptable.

Applies on

Since style is a global attribute in HTML, all the tags which can contain text in it supports style attribute. Some exceptions are <html>, <head>, <title> etc as they are structural elements.

Examples of HTML style attribute

Below examples will illustrate the HTML height attribute, where and how we should use this attribute!

Styling heading Tag using style Attribute

In the following example, let’s see the working of style attributes in HTML documents. If we pass the style attributes along with an element, then it becomes Inline CSS.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="text-align: center">
    <h3>HTML style Attribute</h3>
    <h1 style="color: green">
        Tutorials<span style="color: black">point</span>
    </h1>
</body>

</html>

Multiple properties on a single style Attribute

Consider the another scenario, where we are going to use the multiple inline styles inside style attribute, each separtated by semi column.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body style="text-align: center">
    <h3>HTML style Attribute</h3>
    <p style="color: darkblue; background-color: lightgray;
              font-size: 20px; font-style: italic; "> 
        HTML translate attribute is used to specify
        whether the content of an element should be 
        translated when the page is localized
    </p>
</body>

</html>
