HTML <footer> style Attribute

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

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

</footer>

Using style

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

       element.style.backgroundColor = "darkcyan";
