HTML <picture> style Attribute

HTML <param>

HTML <pre>

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

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

Example

#

A style attribute on a <picture> element.

<picture class="picture"
         style="display: inline-block;padding: 10px;border: 3px solid teal;">
  <source media="(max-width: 520px)" srcset="/img/html/vangogh-sm.jpg">
  <source media="(max-width: 768px)" srcset="/img/html/vangogh.jpg">
  <img src="/img/html/vangogh-lg.jpg" alt="Vincent Van Gogh">
</picture>

Using style

#

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

Syntax

#

<picture style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

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

More Examples

#

A style attribute on a <picture> element.
Clicking the button toggles the picture border color.

<picture id="mypicture" class="picture"
         style="display: inline-block;padding: 10px;border: 3px solid teal;">
  <source media="(max-width: 520px)" srcset="/img/html/vangogh-sm.jpg">
  <source media="(max-width: 768px)" srcset="/img/html/vangogh.jpg">
  <img src="/img/html/vangogh-lg.jpg" alt="Vincent Van Gogh">
</picture>

<br /><br />
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("mypicture");

    if (element.style.borderColor === "teal") {
       element.style.borderColor = "tomato";
    } else {
       element.style.borderColor = "teal";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

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

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which toggles the border color to another color.
