HTML class Attribute
 HTML Standard Attributes
Definition and Usage
The class attribute specifies a subtype for the element.
The class attribute is mostly used with CSS to style elements. It can also be
used with JavaScript (using the HTML DOM) to change the
HTML element with the specified class.
It is possible to assign multiple classes to an element by using space as a
separator in the class attribute. This allows you to combine several CSS styles for an
element.
Syntax
<element class="class">Some text or element</element>
OR
<element class="class" />
