Instructor: Jennifer Kyrnin
The XML class from About.com is a free, 10-week class about the eXtensible Markup Language or XML. The lessons are sent weekly by email, but the class is self-paced. You may read and review any of the lessons at any time. You can also have them resent to you. The following articles are part of week 5.
HTML Attributes
In order to understand XML attributes, it helps to look at a markup language that you already know. HTML is fairly easy to understand, and it, like XML has attributes on its tags and elements.
XML Attributes
In XML, like HTML, an attribute is a part of an element that provides additional information about that element. You might think of an attribute as an adjective describing the element it is within. For example, if you have an element "dog", it might have an attribute color="white".
<dog color="white" />

This is a self-paced class. This means that if you need more time than a week to review the lessons, that is fine. And if you finish the lessons before the next week, you can request the next lesson.
