In this tutorial, you will learn HTML class Attribute
HTML class attribute is used to define a class for an HTML element, which can be used to apply CSS styles to multiple elements at once.
- To create a class, use the “class” attribute in the opening tag of an HTML element. For example:
<div class="myclass">
- You can also assign multiple classes to a single element by separating them with a space. For example:
<div class="myclass1 myclass2">
- In your CSS file, use a “.” followed by the class name to define the styles for that class. For example:
.myclass1 {
color: blue;
}
- To apply the class to multiple elements, simply use the same class attribute on the desired elements. For example:
<div class="myclass">This is a div with the class "myclass"</div> <p class="myclass">This is a paragraph with the class "myclass"</p>
Note: HTML class names are case-insensitive, but CSS class selectors are case-sensitive.
Here is an example of a complete HTML and CSS that uses a class attribute:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p class="highlight">This is a highlighted paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
In this example, the class “highlight” is used to apply a yellow background color to the second paragraph.
You can use class attribute to apply CSS styles to multiple elements at once and make your webpage more interactive and dynamic.
