What is the definition of an attribute, i dont understand it

Answer 1

In HTML you have elements and each element has three basic parts:

- tags like <p> and </p> for paragraph
- attributes and values as in <p id="para1"> in the opening tag where id is the attribute and it is given (with = sign) a value para1 in quotes
