HTML <address> style Attribute

A style attribute on an <address> tag assigns a unique style to the address.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the address.

Example

#

A style attribute on an <address> tag.

<footer>
  <address style="background: paleturquoise; padding: 15px;">

  </address>
</footer>

Using style

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <address> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <address> element only.

  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myaddress");

    if (element.style.backgroundColor === "mediumturquoise") {
      element.style.backgroundColor = "paleturquoise";
    } else {
      element.style.backgroundColor = "mediumturquoise";
    }
  }
</script>

The style attribute assigns a background color to the <address> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which changes the background color of the element.
