In HTML, an element is a building block used to define the structure, content, and behavior of a web page. It represents a specific part of the document and consists of opening and closing tags along with any content placed between them. Elements can be nested within one another to create a hierarchical structure.
Each HTML element serves a specific purpose and has a predefined set of rules and behaviors associated with it. Some common HTML elements include headings (<h1> to <h6>), paragraphs (<p>), lists (<ul>, <ol>, <li>), images (<img>), links (<a>), tables (<table>, <tr>, <td>), forms (<form>, <input>, <button>), and many more.
Here's an example of an HTML element, the <p> element, used to define a paragraph of text:
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
In the above example, <p> is the opening tag, and </p> is the closing tag that marks the beginning and end of the paragraph element. The text "This is a paragraph." is the content of the element.
HTML elements can also include attributes, which provide additional information about the element or modify its behavior. Attributes are specified within the opening tag and consist of a name and a value. For instance, the <a> element (link) includes the href attribute to specify the URL of the link:
<a href="https://www.betekie.com">Visit Betekie Website</a>
In this example, the href attribute specifies the URL that the link should navigate to.
