What are Global Attributes in HTML

Global attributes are an important part of learning HTML. Nearly every HTML tag uses these attributes, so being familiar with them is a good idea.

Core Attributes

Core attributes are the global attributes that are central to most HTML tags. They are:

• accesskey HTML5
• class
• contenteditable HTML5
• contextmenu HTML5
• draggable HTML5
• hidden HTML5
• id
• spellcheck HTML5
• style
• tabindex HTML5
• title

Internationalization (il8n) Attributes

These are the attributes that help you make your HTML more language independent. You can use these two attributes on most HTML tags to change or specify the language and direction of the tag's contents:

• dir
• lang

XML Attributes

These attributes are defined in the XML specification, but are often used in HTML documents.

• xml:lang
• xml:space
• xml:base
