HTML - height Attribute

In HTML, the height attribute is frequently used to specify the vertical dimension in pixels of an element, such as an image or an iframe. It establishes the element's height, providing accurate control over the size and arrangement of the element on a web page.

This attribute is essential for keeping the aspect ratio of images and assuring uniform design. By managing the visual presentation of items inside the content, web developers can control the height attribute to create pixel-perfect layouts and improve user experience.

Instead of the height attribute, we can use height as a property in CSS to specify the height of the elements.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the HTML height attribute −

<tag height = ‘value’></tag>

Where the height value will be in the ‘px’ unit.

Example

In the following example, we are going to use the geight attribute with img tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
   <title>HTML 'height' attribute</title>
</head>
<body>
   <!--HTML 'height' attribute-->
   <p>Example of the HTML 'height' attribute</p>
   <img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/images/html-mini-logo.jpg" height="50px"> Image with 50px height <br>
   <img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/images/html-mini-logo.jpg" height="80px"> Image with 100px height
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, it will generate an output consisting of the images with different pixels displayed on the webpage.

Example

Considering the another scenario, where we are going to use the height attribute with the input type=image.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
   <title>HTML 'height' attribute</title>
</head>
<body>
   <!--HTML 'height' attribute-->
   <p>Example of the HTML 'height' attribute</p>
   <input type="image" src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/images/html-mini-logo.jpg" height="100px" width="350px">
</body>
</html>

On running the above code, the output window will pop up displaying the image on the webpage.

Example

Let's look at the following example, where we are going to use the height attribute with the object tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
   <title>HTML 'height' attribute</title>
</head>
<body>
   <!--HTML 'height' attribute-->
   <p>Example of the HTML 'height' attribute</p>
   <object data="https://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/images/pdf-student-table.PNG" type="" height="300"></object>
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, it will generate an output consisting of the table like data displayed on the webpage.
