# HTML Attributes * All HTML elements can have **attributes** * Attributes provide **additional information** about elements * Attributes are always specified in **the start tag** * Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: **name="value"** ### The href, src, alt, width, height, style, lang Attribute The `` tag defines a hyperlink. The **`href`** attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to. The `` tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page. The **`src`** attribute specifies the path to the image to be displayed. The `` tag should also contain the `width` and `height` attributes, which specify the width and height of the image (in pixels). The required `alt` attribute for the `` tag specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image for some reason cannot be displayed. This can be due to a slow connection, or an error in the `src` attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader. The `style` attribute is used to add styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more. You should always include the `lang` attribute inside the `` tag, to declare the language of the Web page. This is meant to assist search engines and browsers. {% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %} ```html Visit Google Girl with a jacket
