HTML elements communicate to the browser how to render text. When surrounded by angular brackets <> they form HTML tags. For the most part, tags come in paris and surround text.
An element in HTML represents some kind of structure or semantics and generally consists of a start tag, content, and an end tag.
Tags are used to mark up the start and end of an HTML element. A start tag consists of an opening angle bracket (<) followed by the element name, zero or more space separated attribute/value pairs, and a closing angle bracket (>).
HTML ELEMENTS-The html element is the individual component of the html document or web page, once this has been parsed into document object model. It is composed of tree of html node.
TAGS-Tags are use to markup the start and end of the html elements. A start tag consist of opening angle bracket and end tag is used for closing angle bracket. These tags are hidden keywords within a web page that will define how your web browser format must display.
Elements are things on the website that you see all the time, like headers or paragraphs or pictures... (you can simply see it as visible things that appear on a page)
And Tags look like this a paragraph for example <p>...</p> (normally you can't see those weird things on your pages)
An element in HTML represents some kind of structure or semantics and generally consists of a start tag, content, and an end tag.
Tags are used to mark up the start and end of an HTML element. A start tag consists of an opening angle bracket (<) followed by the element name, zero or more space separated attribute/value pairs, and a closing angle bracket (>).
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of tags - opening tags: <html> and closing tags: </html> . The only difference between an opening tag and a closing tag is the forward slash "/". You label content by putting it between an opening tag and a closing tag. HTML is all about elements.
HTML tag is just opening or closing entity. For example:
<body> and </body> are called HTML tags
HTML element encompasses opening tag, closing tag, content (optional for content-less tags) Eg:
<body>This is the content</body> : This complete thing is called a HTML element
HTML element is the collection of start tag, its attributes, an end tag and everything in between.
HTML tag either opening or closing is used to mark the start or end of an element.
Hello,
<html>,<body> are the tags and case insensitive.
And <br/>,<hr/> are called elements inside the opening and closing tags.
Thanks!
A tag is a part of an HTML element, or rather, an element is the sum of a start-tag, optional content and optional end-tag.
HTML Tag
HTML tag refers to a tag name surrounded by opening (“<”) and closing (“>) brackets.
For example: <body> tag.
In the above example, a body tag is surrounded by opening (“<”) and closing (“>) brackets and a word “body” is mentioned inside it, which is actually a name of a tag i.e. “body” tag. These brackets are used for denoting that it is an HTML tag. You will find a number of such tags which are used in HTML and they are referred by different names like: image tag, paragraph tag, etc.
HTML consists of tags which are of two types: opening tags and closing tags.
HTML Element
HTML element is nothing but an HTML tag along with the content inside it.
For Example:-
Element is referred to, the content present inside an opening and closing tag and that complete tag with its content are referred to as HTML Element.
