Lowercase Tags VS. Uppercase Tags:

Html tags with capital letters such as <B> are known as upper case tags whereas tags with small letters such as <b> are known as lower case tags. However, html tags are not case sensitive therefore using an uppercase tag is the same like using a lowercase tag.

On the other hand, lower case tags are not preferred by the professional because XTML [the next generation html] demands lowercase tags.

Attributes used in HTML Tags:
Attributes are an essentiality for the tags. They provide additional value to the tags. Following is an example of an attribute:

<table border=”1”>: This tag defines an HTML table and the attribute ‘1’ with it defines the number of tables. In this way the browser comes to know that there should be one table.

You will always find attributes with names and values such as: name=“value”. Moreover, attributes are always detailed in the start tag of an html element. Like HTML tags, attributes are also not case sensitive. Though, lowercase attributes are preferred.

The values of attributes should always be confined with double inverted commas. There are two types of enclosure; either you can use single inverted commas or you can use double inverted commas.

In certain cases, the attribute value contains quotes then it’s necessary to use single quotes:

Name= ‘Sarah “gardener” Thomas’
