HOW TO IDENTIFY HTML ELEMENTS The Id attribute: The id attribute specifies a unique id for an HTML element. The value of the id attribute must be unique within the HTML document. The id attribute is used to point to a specific style declaration in a style sheet. It is also used by JavaScript to access and manipulate the element with the specific id. The class attribute: The class attribute is often used to point to a class name in a style sheet. It can also be used by a JavaScript to access and manipulate elements with the specific class name. The Name attribute: The name attribute specifies a name for an HTML element. This name attribute can be used to reference the element in a JavaScript. For a <form> element, the name attribute is used as a reference when the data is submitted. DEBUGGING OR INSPECTING HTML CODE Photo by Clay Banks
