Attributes

Attribute Description
CLASS Sets the style sheet class (specified in an in-line, linked or imported style sheet) to be applied to the element.
ID Sets a unique identifier for the element, allowing it to be referenced within scripting functions, or to specify a style sheet setting, set using a #<style_class> class selector.
LANG Specifies the language (using an ISO country code derived classifier) that the element is using, for browsers that support document localisation.
LANGUAGE Sets the scripting language that any in-line scripting events are written in.
STYLE Sets in-line style sheet settings for the element, which will over-ride any set in a <STYLE> block, or externally linked to the document.
TITLE Specifies an informational title for the element. The contents of the TITLE attribute may be presented as a Tool-Tip by some browsers.

Scripting Events

Event Description
onClick Fired whenever the user clicks the element (or its contents) with the mouse
onDblClick Fired whenever the user double-clicks the element (or its contents) with the mouse (the double-click speed is dependant on the users system settings).

onKeyPress The onkeypress event is similar to the onkeydown event, except that it returns the UNICODE value of the key or keys being pressed when the event occurs.
onKeyUp The onkeyup event is fired when a previously pressed key is released while the referenced element has the focus.
onMouseDown The onmousedown event fires whenever the user presses a button on the mouse, with the event being initially fired for the element that has the focus when the mouse button is clicked, and bubbling up through the element objects until an onmousedown event handler is found.
onMouseMove The onmousemove event occurs whenever the users mouse moves over the element.
onMouseOut The onmouseout event fires when the users mouse leaves the area defined by the referenced element.
onMouseOver The onmouseover event fires when the users mouse enters the area defined by the referenced element.
