HTML Global Attributes

Global attributes can be used on any HTML element. However, some attributes have no effect on certain elements. For instance, spellcheck won't affect the behavior or semantics of a paragraph, and lang will have no effect on an element without content.

You can find all Global Attributes and their explanations below:

Attributes	Description	Value	Syntax
accesskey	Generates a keyboard shortcut for the element. The way of accessing the shortcut key varies depending on the browser (e.g., ALT, CTRL, ALT+SHIFT, or CTRL+ALT).	character	<element accesskey="character">
class	Adds one or more class names to an element. When used with stylesheets, it tells the browser which classes should apply properties to the element.	classname	<element class="classname">
contenteditable	Specifies whether the content of an element is editable. With the "true" value, the content will be editable; with the "false" value (default), it will not be.	true false	<element contenteditable="true
contextmenu	Deprecated. Was used to create a context menu for the element, shown when the user right-clicks. Removed from the HTML Living Standard.	menu_id	<element contextmenu="menu_id">
data-*	Allows embedding custom data attributes on all HTML elements. These attributes are accessible via the JavaScript dataset API.	value	<element data-attribute="value">
dir	Defines the text direction for contents within the element. Useful for inserting content with a different text direction, such as Arabic or Hebrew.	rtl ltr auto	<element dir="ltr
draggable	Defines whether an element is draggable. When "true", the browser allows dragging; when "false", dragging is disabled.	true false auto	<element draggable="true
dropzone	Specifies whether dragged data is copied, moved, or linked after it is dropped. If omitted, "copy" is implied by default.	copy move link	<element dropzone="copy
hidden	When present, it indicates that an element is not yet or no longer relevant. Browsers will hide the element.	-	<element hidden>
id	Defines a unique id for the element. Identifiers must be at least one character long and should not contain space characters.	id	<element id="id">
lang	Defines the language of the element's content. See all language codes here.	language_code	<element lang="language_code">
spellcheck	Defines whether an element may be checked for spelling errors. When "true" or an empty string (""), browsers commonly underline misspelled words and provide alternatives. When "false", spelling checks are disabled.	true false	<element spellcheck="true
style	Defines inline CSS styles for an element. Unlike the class attribute, this applies styles directly to the element.	style_definitions	<element style="style_definitions">
tabindex	Defines the tabbing order for an element when navigating with the "Tab" key. If the value is negative, the element is excluded from sequential keyboard navigation.	number	<element tabindex="number">
title	Provides extra information about the element. Browsers typically display this as a tooltip.	text	<element title="text">
translate	Defines whether the content of an element must be translated. When "yes" or an empty string (""), browsers will translate the text. When "no", the element is excluded from translation.	yes no	<element translate="yes
