The Style Attribute

Another way of specifying style is to include the rule as the value for a style attribute in any HTML element.

Just like every HTML element can contain a class and id attribute, every HTML element have a style attribute. This value takes a string, formatted as valid CSS.

NOTE: Valid CSS will be discussed over the next few pages.
