HTML Element

In HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), an element is a fundamental building block that defines the structure and content of a webpage. HTML elements consist of a start tag, content, and an end tag, with the content placed between the tags. Here's an example of an HTML element:

<p>This is a paragraph element.</p>

In the example above, <p> is the start tag, This is a paragraph element. is the content, and </p> is the end tag. The element <p> represents a paragraph in HTML.

HTML provides a wide range of elements to structure and format content. Some commonly used HTML elements include:

  • <h1> to <h6>: Headings of different levels, where <h1> represents the highest level (most important) heading.

  • <p>: Paragraph element for text content.

  • <a>: Anchor element used for creating links to other web pages or resources.

  • <img>: Image element for displaying images on a webpage.

  • <div>: Division element used to group other elements and apply styling.

  • <ul> and <li>: Unordered list and list item elements, respectively, for creating bulleted lists.

  • <ol> and <li>: Ordered list and list item elements, respectively, for creating numbered lists.

  • <table>, <tr>, <td>: Elements used to create tables with rows and cells.

  • <form>: Element used to create a form for user input.
