HTML <i> style Attribute

HTML <html>

HTML <iframe>

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

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

Example

#

An <i> element with a style attribute.

Van Gogh and Gauguin visited the city of Montpellier in December 1888.

<article>
  <p>
     Van Gogh and Gauguin visited the city of 
     <i style="background:papayawhip;color:brown;">Montpellier</i> 
     in December 1888.
  </p>
</article>

Using style

#

The style attribute defines the style (i.e. look and feel) of the <i> element.

It 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 <i> element only.

Syntax

#

<i style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

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

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myi");

    if (element.style.backgroundColor === "papayawhip") {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "cornsilk";
    } else {
