CORE ATTRIBUTE:  class
class="name"
Available in versions: 4.0
HTML 4.0 tag compatibility: All tags except base, basefront, head, html, meta, param, script, style, title
 
The class core attribute is used to assign the name of a style sheets class to a tag.
 
For example, all of the code samples on the DevGuru site are in blue colored text. This is done by enclosing the code sample inside a pair of span tag elements and designating a class of "CODE". In turn, the "CODE" class has been assigned a text color of blue in the style sheets file (a .css file) that is located in the Include/ directory on the DevGuru web site. (Thus, only one file is needed to define the appearance of the entire site.)
 
Code:
<span class="CODE">
The code example is blue.
</span>
 
Output:
The code example is blue.
 
The exact same effect can be accomplished using other permitted tags.
 
Code:
<font class="CODE">
This text is blue.
</font>
This text is not blue.
 
Output:
This text is blue.
 This text is not blue.
