HTML <small> style Attribute

HTML <select>

HTML <source>

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

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

Example

#

A style attribute on a <small> tag.

The wattpad.com website has a section on shrinking stories.

<p>
  The wattpad.com website has a section on 
  <small style="color: orangered;">shrinking stories</small>.
</p>

Using style

#

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

Syntax

#

<small style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

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

</p>

<br />
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
     let element = document.getElementById("mysmall");

     if (element.style.fontWeight === "400") {
       element.style.fontWeight = "700";
    } else {
       element.style.fontWeight = "400";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a text color and font weight to the <small> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which toggles the boldness of the text.
