HTML <figure> style Attribute

HTML <figcaption>

HTML <footer>

A style attribute on a <figure> tag assigns a unique style to the element.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the figure element.

Example

#

A style attribute on a <figure> element.

<figure style="display:inline-block;padding:10px;border: 3px solid brown;">
  <img src="/img/html/sangiorgio.jpg">
</figure>

Using style

#

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

Syntax

#

<figure style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

Value	Description
CSS-styles	One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;).

        style="display:inline-block;padding:10px;border: 3px solid steelblue;">
  <img src="/img/html/sangiorgio.jpg">
</figure>

<br/><br/>
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("figure");

    if (element.style.borderColor === "steelblue") {
       element.style.borderColor = "brown";
    } else {
       element.style.borderColor = "steelblue";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a border to the <figure> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which toggles the element border color.
