Tag attributes

Tags can have attributes.
Attributes can provide additional information about the HTML elements on your page. This tag defines the body element of your HTML page: <body>. With an added bgcolor attribute, you can tell the browser that the background color of your page should be red, like this: <body bgcolor=“orange">.

Attributes always come in name/value pairs like this: name="value".   Attributes are always added to the start tag of an HTML element, and can be used to enhance an HTML tag.
