Definition Term Element



The definition term is used to define a term for a definition list. The definition term element can occur only as a child element of a definition list and it is usually followed by a definition description element. A single definition term may have multiple definitions associated with it, and a single definition may have multiple terms.

Listed below are the most common attributes you can use for the definition term element:
  • class - provides the class or classes of the heading. This attribute is used to identify the name of the style class or classes to be used for rendering.
  • id - provides a unique name for the heading.
  • lang - provides the language in which the enclosed content is coded.
  • style - provides a cascading style sheet (CSS) properties to the heading.
  • title - privides a text title for the heading. Most web browser displays the value of the title as "tooltip".
